ANNAPOLIS, MD (May 26, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued the following statement today regarding New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie’s announcement that New Jersey will withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI):
“I am disappointed in Governor Christie’s decision to withdraw from RGGI and I reject his assertion that the initiative is ineffective in reducing greenhouse gases. RGGI represents an important multi-state effort to address climate change at a time when consensus eludes Congress.
“We are in a fight for our children’s future. And in this fight some states will win and some states will lose. For Maryland to be a winner in this new economy, we must move forward – not back – by creating and saving jobs through innovation, while improving public safety, public education, and our quality of life.
“Governor Christie is simply wrong when he claims that these efforts are a failure. Here in Maryland, RGGI has avoided dangerous carbon dioxide emissions in Maryland equivalent to taking nearly 3,500 cars off the road. Through last year, we’ve raised $162.4 million in RGGI proceeds – funds that have been used for programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
why cant we elect someone like Christie here in MD
ReplyDeleteThat's because Christie is not a lying thief like O'Malley how much has the RGGI promised to line O'Malleys pockets we will never know
ReplyDelete"Equivalent to 3,500 cars off the road" what a joke is this guy for real.

ReplyDeleteMore B.S. from our dear leader. If he would just keep his big mouth shut imagine how much greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced.
ReplyDelete"We are in a fight for our children’s future."
ReplyDeleteThat's all I had to read before hitting the DELETE key.
Boy that is a lot of gas coming out of O'Crappy
ReplyDeleteThis greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide hoax has run its course. Hey O'Malley, your not fooling us with you bull**** about global warming and CO2 anymore to justify you taxes and regulations!
ReplyDelete"Hey O'Malley, your not fooling us with you bull****"
ReplyDeleteHe is as long as you continue to put him in office or not do anything to prevent him from returning (in any office).
"We're in a fight for our children's future" should read "future money" because that's the truth to the whole matter. He just wants our children's future money.
