Governor Brown had hinted at some of these initiatives when he spoke at the California Climate Leadership Forum hosted by NextGen Climate America in mid-December. Jesse Thomas produced a podcast with the key take aways of that event available here:

Just before Christmas Washington State Governor Jay Inslee announced his own package of climate proposals designed to reduce pollution in his state and catapult it into a leadership position.  Aaron Burgess provides an overview:
