Cornyn: EPA's Decision Shows Reckless Disregard

Statement

Date: June 30, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Environment

Following the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) final disapproval of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) flexible permit program today, U.S. Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas released the below statement:

"The Obama Administration keeps digging themselves a deeper hole when it comes to this economic recession. Instead of working with Texas to improve an existing successful program, they are burying the Texas economy with this EPA overreach. The EPA's decision shows reckless disregard for Texas' strong record of reduced emissions and improved air quality, while creating economic uncertainty for Texas industries and the workers they employ."
