Washington State legislation S.B. 6900 is slated to attempt to reduce vehicle emissions by establishing two fees.
1) Fee based on engine size (8.0 Liters or above are charged $600.00 each year)
2) Fee based on calculations of carbon emissions (additional $600.00 each year)
The website below provides great information towards the steps to take in the opposition of this bill.

i know this wont sound good to you but i personally feel that this would help with the amount of emissions that we have and then the populous will look at how much gasses we are letting into our air and hopefully we will become a more efficient state at using the resources that we have carefully yes the price is high for some people who own cars but we need to see the benifit of becomming more fuel efficientand if this will help then it would be best for the state to impliment this type of law.

Why shouldn’t people who drive cars have to pay more to pollute the earth than other people who make more concientious choices? If you can afford to buy, restore and maintain a classic car or a race car, surely you can afford to pay a fee to add more hydrocarbons to the atmosphere. Maybe if you could convince me how unjust these fees are I would think differently.
