(Richmond)- The State Air Pollution Control Board took its final step to withdraw Virginia from a regional carbon market, sending the action to Gov. Youngkin’s office for final action. Following a 30-minute closed session to discuss possible litigation against the decision, the board voted 4-3 to adopt the regulation withdrawing the state from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. All Youngkin appointees voted in support of the measure, while all three appointees of former Democratic Gov. Northam voted against it.
