Senator Rockefeller Insists On Vote Of Greenhouse Regulations
WEST VIRGINIA....
Senator Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., has informed the U.S. Senate leadership that he will insist on a vote on his legislation which would suspend Environmental Protection Agency greenhouse gas regulations that are scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2011, giving Congress two years to consider energy legislation. Rockefeller says he spent this year fighting to make sure that Congress, not the EPA, determines how best to reduce greenhouse gases in a way that protects West Virginia’s economy, and, if left with no other option, he will seek to suspend the rules on the Omnibus Appropriations bill to bring up his legislation. He says it's too important an issue to delay any further.
