MAILBAG: Harness the forces of capitalism to address climate change
Next week, I and other Republicans around the nation will have the privilege of participating in a virtual lobby session with Republican members of Congress. I will be meeting with members representing western New York and other parts of New York state. We will be asking Congress to support initiatives to address climate change with common sense solutions such as permitting reform and a carbon based tariff.
I have been a Republican all my life and living in a rural farming community has taught me that we all must live with and depend on the natural environment. We all have to be good stewards. It is not for one side of the aisle, it is for all the people.
