Illinois could be a leader on environmental protection, but instead Bruce Rauner has resisted policies and even worked against protecting our environment. He proposed scrapping existing limits on carbon pollution from coal-powered plants, defunded agencies that protect the environment, and refuses to say whether he will commit to upholding the Paris Climate Agreement.
As governor, I will be 100 percent committed to protecting our environment and making Illinois a state that is leading the charge to do so. Here are my top 5 environmental priorities:
It's not too late to change the course of environmental protection in Illinois, but we need a leader who will be in charge and is willing to do so.
Thank you--
