Opposition continues to build against Governor Tom Wolf’s plan for Pennsylvania to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, also known as RGGI.
State Senator Joe Pittman announced that the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee on Wednesday approved a letter to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission formally opposing the move. The IRRC is an independent agency of the state responsible for the review of regulations from nearly all state agencies, boards and commissions before they are put into effect.
On Wednesday, Pittman, who serves as the vice-chairman of the Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, voiced his objections to RGGI, saying that the regulations would ruin the local economy. He also once again asked Governor Wolf to come to his district to explain how the initiative would be effective in his district.

Nancy Peiffer tries to assemble her words.
She s battling Parkinson s Disease, the frustration of being unable to find a COVID-19 vaccine and nearly a year of separation from her daughters who live in Florida.
An ongoing pandemic and partisan rancor are wearing her down. This isn t the United States I grew up in, she said on the phone last week through tears. It just isn t.
The Jonestown, Lebanon County, resident never imagined at 85 that she would have to think about politics so much or a virus that has yet to be tamed.
Peiffer is worried a worsening partisan divide is getting in the way of important work that needs to be done.

HARRISBURG When Republican state Rep. Jim Gregory learned Monday from Gov. Tom Wolf that an administrative error will delay a decision on whether survivors can sue for decades-old sexual abuse, he broke down and sobbed uncontrollably.
“That’s where I had to leave it with him to hope he understood the gravity of what this means to victims, to know that we could be so close to achieving something for them that has been decades in wait,” Gregory, a survivor of child sexual abuse, said of his conversation with Wolf. “To now have to say, again, you’re going to have to wait. I would believe that my emotions mirrored the emotions of other victims.”
