Washington voters have rejected that would impose the nation’s first direct carbon tax on the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline.

Sponsors of Initiative 732 said residents have a moral responsibility to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and a carbon tax was the best way to do it. The tax encouraged businesses to conserve or switch to clean energy by making fossil fuels more expensive, and it makes the tax system fairer by using the revenues to reduce other taxes, they say.

Businesses said the tax would have driven up fuel and energy costs and put Washington companies at a competitive disadvantage.

Some major environmental and other groups — including those that backed Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposal last year to cap emissions and make carbon polluters pay — opposed the initiative. They said it took the wrong approach.

Washington’s current minimum age is $9.47 an hour. The federal minimum wage is $7.25.

He also said Inslee had failed to come up with a plan to fund K-12 education, as mandated by the state Supreme Court.

The state Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that the way Washington pays for education is unconstitutional, in part because of an overreliance on local dollars to pay expenses that should be covered by the state budget. The court gave the Legislature until 2018 to fix the problem
