Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is supporting the Texas challenge to the EPA:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison released the following statement concerning the EPA’s endangerment finding for greenhouse gases that pose great risk to Texas’ economy:
“The EPA’s endangerment finding for greenhouse gases has begun a regulatory process that will lead to disaster for the Texas economy. I am proud to be part of the fight to overturn this badly misguided plan by the Obama administration. In Texas, we have long recognized that we can both grow our economy while protecting our environment. This overreach by the EPA is nothing more than an attempted end-run around the many who have rightfully stood up against cap and trade legislation also being pushed by this administration. The EPA’s actions represent a sweeping mandate that will cost jobs and cannot stand.”
On January 21, 2010, Senator Hutchison joined with Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in a joint resolution (S.J.Res.26) disapproving of the EPA's efforts to regulate greenhouse gases.
not from the editor: Actually, KBH had signed onto legislation which would stop the EPA, not just express disapproval. - Peggy V.
