OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Voters in Washington state on Tuesday upheld a groundbreaking law that is forcing companies to cut carbon emissions while raising billions of dollars for programs that include habitat restoration and preparing for climate change.

Just two years after it was passed, the Climate Commitment Act, one of the most progressive climate policies ever passed by state lawmakers, faced a repeal effort from conservatives. They blamed it for ramping up energy and gas costs in Washington, which has long had some of the highest gas prices in the nation.
