RGGI is important to the health and safety of Virginians, and is good for the economy
 

I am unable to formulate a reason that Governor Youngkin would want to withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative that is not political. Not only have the harmful pollutants in our air decreased during the time Virginia has participated, businesses have grown and prospered.

I am sure you are getting accurate reports from experts that substantiate my statements. I am weighing in simply as a taxpayer and a citizen who wants Virginia to prosper in a clean, pollutant-free environment.
