Thank you to all of the citizens who called Governor McDonnell and urged him to protect clean air in Northern Virginia. House Bill 1300 and Senate Bill 128 allow polluters to buy credits so they can emit more poisonous gases into our air. During the General Assembly session, we successfully amended these bills so they will not apply to Northern Virginia, at least protecting clean air here. Sadly, Governor McDonnell ignored our community and amended these bills to remove these protections, allowing polluters to buy their way out of clean air requirements in Northern Virginia.
Delegate Englin will continue fighting to protect clean air for our community and for all Virginians. Please visit http://www.davidenglin.org/join to get involved.
