I have been reading with increasing alarm about Gov. Youngkin's efforts to withdraw from the RGGI agreement. Now that Air Control Board is joining forces in what appears to be a very short-sighted and uninformed effort. We are all being seriously impacted by climate forces now - it is no longer a future worry that we can put off. The RGGI agreement has made a positive impact on GHG emissions and has brought substantial income into the state to be targeted for climate issues. The very small increase in taxes that make it a reality are the least the citizens of Virginia can do to slow down this disastrous course. Please withdraw any challenges to the RGGI agreement.
