Billionaire鈥檚 cash flows to Washington senate race
Flush with cash from California billionaire Tom Steyer鈥檚 group, a Washington state environmental group is backing candidates this November to help Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee pass sweeping climate change legislation.
Inslee, who says the state has a moral responsibility to act on climate change, has gotten national attention for his efforts. But he鈥檚 struggled to persuade some lawmakers in his own state, in part because of a state Senate controlled by a GOP-dominated coalition.
