PA Biz Owners Pressure Gov. Shapiro to Withdraw State from RGGI

Business leaders in Pennsylvania are keeping the pressure on Gov. Josh "do nothing" Shapiro--hoping to get him to keep an implied promise to remove the state from the odious carbon tax scheme called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). During the gubernatorial campaign, Shapiro expressed doubts about RGGI, implying he would not support PA's participation, a campaign lie we warned you about at the time (see PA’s Shapiro Outright Lies About Position on RGGI Carbon Tax). Now that he's in office, Shapiro wants the billions in taxes RGGI would raise, and has a plan to spend some of it in this year's budget (see Coming Soon to PA – Gov. Josh Shapiro’s Energy Tax, aka RGGI). Shapiro's seeming flip-flop in position does not sit well with PA's business community.
