Seattle is making an attempt to move aggressively towards cutting the city emissions. In September, Mayor Jenny Durkan signed a bill that would tax home heating oil an additional 24 cents per gallon. This tax would be on top of the existing 10% heating oil tax that currently exists for the residents of Seattle. This tax will take effect starting during the summer of 2020.

Growing up with four brothers who always had to have the newest and latest in automobiles, one of them came home with the coolest car ever! An Oldsmobile ninety-eight, diesel, black, moon roof, four doors, loaded. You name it, it had it. Boy did I think I was “it” when I trolled my neighborhood. Everyone’s head turned to see who was driving this black beauty. Were those head turns because they thought I couldn’t handle the car, or were they trying to make sure they weren’t going to inhale what was spewing from the tail pipe?
