The EPA is planning to use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. This allows them to further extend the government’s reach, which will be detrimental to our economy, our jobs, and America’s global competitiveness.
Several Republican senators will join Murkowski to voice their shared concerns over EPA’s attempt to impose economically harmful climate regulations on the country. The vote on the disapproval resolution is Thursday, June 10.
