So it begins

 

Want to know how to tell a GOP politician is a hard right-wing ideologue, even if they've tried to avoid that tag?

They attack the environment every chance they get.

Newly-elected Governor Glenn Youngkin has been proving this even before he was sworn in.  He already said he'd move to pull Virginia out of a Chesapeake Bay multi-state regional greenhouse gas control agreement (even thought it's not fully clear that he can).  

Then he grabbed former Trump EPA chump Andrew Wheeler to head up Virginia's Department of Natural Resources.

Pardon me while I choke on that.  Apparently the Virginia Senate, which still has a slight Democrat edge, could do something that they don't commonly do, which is to reject the appointment.

I vote aye on that nay.
