Ballots are landing in Washingtonians' mailboxes, leaving voters just a few more weeks to make up their minds on some big issues, like voter initiatives.

The first thing on that ballot - at the very top - is an initiative that has equally impassioned and confused voters.

Washington Initiative 2066 focuses on how fast utilities are transitioning off of fossil fuels, how they plan for that change, and the power local governments have to weigh in by regulating natural gas.

We'll unpack the initiative on this week's episode of Sound Politics, and Libby will take on Scott's ballot pop quiz!
