Stay in the RGCI
 

I don’t understand—well I understand but it makes no logical sense—the need to pull out of a program that would greatly help combat climate change in the area. Climate change isn’t going away just because the governor thinks it’s gonna help his political campaign. Climate change effects everyone no matter your tax bracket, religious affiliation, race, or sexual orientation. Mother Nature doesn’t give a black box about any of that. Virginia flood—especially areas like Hampton Roads where I live. I’m so black boxing tired of all these political stunts that helps no one, not even the people that voted for Youngkin. It’s in no one’s best interest especially since there’s not a plan on par with the RGCI. The governor doesn’t have a climate change plan or any plans it seems like that don’t revolve around black boxing Virginians over. Please stay in the RGCI.
