This week, we look at the food fight over Washington Initiative 732, which would create the nation's first state carbon tax to fight climate change but which has divided environmentalists and progressives. I-732 proponent Yoram Bauman says it's great policy. Critic Rebecca Saldana argues it's a product of a "white-privileged" environmental movement. Also: why Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Seattle taxpayers lost big this week.
