Yes, and Gov. Romney withdrew, though Mayor Menino has signed on to the Mayors Agreement.
I wonder if Romney's withdrawal from RGGI was in any way meant to send a message about a potential stance on Kyoto, given that he seems to be positioning himself for the 2008 presidential race? He used the same basic argument -- economic impact -- that President Bush has used about Kyoto. (But economic impact is sort of the "default" argument for any Executive.)
