Commerce Secretary Nominee Open to Raising Taxes to Fund Climate Change Agenda
2021-01-27
[NewsMax] Commerce Secretary-nominee Gina Raimondo is open to raising taxes on the middle class, saying we "need funds" for President Joe Biden's climate agenda.

RNC Research tweeted the clip of Raimondo's comments at her nomination hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee on Tuesday.

"We do need to meet the climate change challenge, and we need funds for improved infrastructure, better roads, safer roads, safer bridges, which also creates jobs," Raimondo told Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., when asked about Transportation Secretary-nominee Peter Buttigieg's proposal of a gas tax to raise money for Biden administration spending initiatives.

"I would look to balance those interests and work as a piece of the president's team."

Raimondo is governor of Rhode Island.

Simply a prepping of the battle space. It's like your neighbors collapsed leach field following a downpour. You don't have to actually see it to know what's happening.
