Stay in RCGI! The governor is a disgrace!
 

Emissions dropped by 12.8% in Virginia’s first year of RGGI participation, and from just 2009-2014, RGGI states saw improved air quality benefited RGGI by an estimated $5.7 billion. 45% of funds go to localities to perform resiliency planning and projects.

Virginia Clinicians for Climate Action has a statement on the health benefits of RGGI. https://www.virginiaclinicians.org/_files/ugd/b42d13_dd2e2d5b26bb4eb7bad1d6aa68b66619.pdf

Keep Virginia in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.  It's essential for the health of our families and friends in Virginia.

“Christian” in name only. Shame on you. Running on lies and systematically destroying Virginia. Your end of office can’t come soon enough- the birds and bees and flowers all agree. Anti-environment prick!
