Chairman Sessions Applauds Passage of Measures to Halt EPA Regulations

Statement

U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the House Rules Committee, today issued the following statement after voting in favor of two resolutions that overturn Environmental Protection Agency rules that were put in place by President Obama's "Climate Action Plan":

"The Obama administration's proposed regulations would cost businesses billions of dollars in compliance costs, raise energy prices on hard working American families and kill thousands of American jobs. If these damaging rules were put into effect, taxpayers would be left to pick up the tab, even though the EPA has admitted these rules would not produce any meaningful impact on global greenhouse emissions or temperatures. The House and Senate have acted together to protect the American economy and stick-up for families across this nation, so now it's up to the president to put a stop to these onerous regulations that will do nothing but harm."
