Description
Every time Brad De Kok fuels up his semi-truck he hears the same thing in his head.
"Ching, ching, ching.," he said. "That's more money out of my pocket. It's more money out of everybody else's pocket."
De Kok is an independent truck driver. His semi takes 270 gallons of diesel to fill up.
"I went to Oregon, came back up. I put 215 gallons in. It cost me $1,086," he said.
A sizeable chunk of that is a surcharge for the Department of Ecology's Climate Commitment Act.
