Once again, this community stepped up when you needed to. Unfortunately, in spite of over 430 emails which our community sent asking the delegates to vote YES, Delegate Roem’s bill HB 2469 did NOT make it out of the subcommittee.
Some folks from our area went to Richmond and spoke in support of the bill at the subcommittee. Dominion Energy representatives were present to speak in opposition. While we did have support for the bill from Delegate Hugo, it was not enough to prevail against the majority NO votes.
Delegate Roem intends to submit this bill again next year in hopes that we will have more delegates who are NOT beholden to Dominion Energy.
Thanks for your continuing vigilance and support!
