YIMBYs to the white house!
"We have permitting that takes too long...and prohibits or makes more expensive doing renewable energy projects. I think that same thing applies to housing. We put up barriers to making it more affordable." - Democratic VP Candidate Tim Walz x.com/Acosta/status/…

Governor Walz signed legislation last year directing code officials to legalize single stair, point access block apartments up to 75 by 2026. x.com/acosta/status/…
More background here from on how Walz got permitting reform across the finish line in Minnesota:

Slapping a green mandate on citizens doesn’t mean it’s achievable or even good.
Minnesota will be lucky to be 100% by 2050 especially considering Xcel is dragging their feet with energy storage implementations right now. Existing Nuclear plants also need to be extended to 2050 for this goal to be reached.

Since they can accomplish this for their own pet projects, it means they have been deliberately slow walking everyone else.
Thank you for pointing this disgusting behavior out.
So only cut regulations for your friends while you drive others out of business? That’s the Bail & Burn Harris & Walz campaign promise? “We’ll help you and destroy other Americans!”
Got it.
He helped the biggest companies in the world make fatter profits for something people don't want.
Only elites.
He's apparently also a champion of BLM rioting, looting, and burning businesses because he did nothing as governor to stop them in 2020.

is a progressive socialist pig who’s laundry list of crimes against the people of his state through the promotion of rioting, mutilating children, draconian mandates has turned the state into a clown show to the rest of the country.. straight piece of trash in human

Wife of a building contractor here. That means a reduction in building costs too. Trust me on this one.
CHQ helped Rep. Mike Lawler become the first Republican to oust a DCCC chair in 40 years. We can help you beat Democrats, too.
What does that even mean. Majority of people heat their homes with oil and gas.
the funny thing is this was gonna be a huge win either way, shapiro also has completely revamped the permitting process in PA, just a complete party realignment on being better on this
We can HOLD the Senate in 2024, but we have to keep up the energy we had in 2022.
Republicans are hitting Democrats hard since we won our razor thin majority, & we can’t afford to lose any ground.
Seems like Shapiro and Walz were both good in this aspect. Now let’s pass Manchin’s dirty deal!
Amazing.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris has just selected Tim Walz to be her running mate for Vice President.
I can't love this guy enough. Just take a look at this compilation of his statements.
Here are some of his major accomplishments:

Does the government not do ROI analyses on its interventions? Why is this even necessary in the first place?
This will only work if we are talking about nuclear energy. Solar isn't an option in MN and there will never be enough windmills to carry the full load or the entire MN grid
The Senate majority is at stake in November, and we can't let Larry Hogan's disastrous record during his time as Maryland’s Governor go unnoticed.
Can you donate $5, $10, or even just $1 to support Angela, who will champion Maryland families?
As long as the reform is not overly narrow, this is a great thing.
But Walz also did this:

In 2023, Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz supported and the Minnesota legislature passed the following legislation:

Red tape they created, and then 'solve the problem' by ignoring the regs. Imagine if nuclear generators could do the same- electricity prices would crater, and no more environmental destruction by subsidized contraptions covering the face of the earth.
Being a “permitting reform champion” doesn’t mean “just projects we approve of”.
Who knew? Republicans have been arguing against excessive regulation for decades. Excessive regulation holds back progress with no clear benefit!
This is quite the take on “fixing” a law that doesn’t permit most current economic activity to take place in 16 years
If not for the COVID reopening order fiasco, he'd be an easy win for me...
He also set up a snitching program where people could report their neighbors for “violating” his draconian Covid rules…
Cutting red tape is great. But Minnesota emits 0.27% of the world's co2. Them doing anything beyond national and international treaties and obligations is utterly pointless. And they aren't going to be carbon neutral by 2040 anyway.
Permitting reform. Lol! I've been trying to get a permit to build a detached garage for 9 months.
there was no general reform. this was limited only to politically favored projects like "green energy". it does nothing to speed or de-cost private development. this is another example of a hypocritical two-tier system anathema to democracy
Are we excited for Waltz to turn America into what his state turned into?
But he failed to get you CLEAN & DISPOSABLE tampons in your locker room
doesnt matter if he lets his state burn to the ground every time leftist media sensationalizes race relations
tim walz signed a law to allow government sterilizing your children against parents’ wishes
So, a state that has extreme cold is going to go all solar and wind? Do you plan on having way fewer people in the future?
Walz is a radical leftist fucktard that just sign gender mutilation child abuse against the parent's wishes into law. OK, groomer.
Nothing like glossing over his tyrannical mandate. lol! I can’t believe how dumb the average leftist really is. It’s either that or depravity
No one gives a shit about this… my paycheck , my taxes, my safety, and my future
