Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) |
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), wants the decision to be made where I think it belongs--in the legislative branch.
She writes in Red State:
EPA has acknowledged that significant portions of the Boiler MACT rules require changes to be achievable under real-world operating conditions. At the same time, the rules and EPA’s administrative stay are being challenged in court. Legislation is the only way to guarantee EPA has the time they say they need to fix these rules, as well as to correct the Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials rule to clearly define fuels that are traditionally used in boilers, such as carbon-neutral, renewable biomass residuals.Technorati tags: politics news Republican cathy mcmorris rodgers washington state gop Congress unemployment economy jobs
Rep. Morgan Griffith's (R-VA) bill H.R. 2250, of which I am a cosponsor, initiated the Boiler MACT legislation along with its Senate counterpart, S.1392, and enjoys broad support in Congress. The legislation passed the House by a vote of 275-142, with no Republican opposition and 41 Democrats in support. The Senate Boiler MACT bill (S. 1392) currently has 41 bipartisan cosponsors. This is an issue that affects each of us, but none more so than the hundreds of thousands of workers in critical American industries.
