Villines on ag and air quality
As a father, I know the effects our air-quality issues can have on our regions children. That’s why I have supported several measures that would give incentives to reducing emissions. I have successfully fought against cuts to programs like the state’s Carl Moyer Program, which provides grants to replace or retrofit engines to reduce pollution emissions. Innovative programs like this, which provide incentives to people rather than burdensome government regulations, go a long way in cleaning up our air. I think we should develop more programs like the Carl Moyer Program, and look for new and creative ways to reduce emissions. Through tax incentives and other means, we can get businesses to clean up their act without imposing costly regulations that could hurt many of our regions vital industries and jobs.
