Senator Lankford Urges President to Overturn WOTUS
Press Release
Issues: Government Operations Environment
Senator James Lankford (R-OK) today voted for a resolution of disapproval of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Waters of the United States' (WOTUS) rule. The resolution passed with a bipartisan vote of 53-44.
"The 'Waters of the United States' rule is one of the greatest examples of presidential overreach in a decade," said Lankford. "The American people have soundly rejected this expansion of power, because they agree that federal authority should be limited on private land. Today, the Senate sent a strong message, on behalf of farmers, ranchers, rural land owners, and small businesses, that this type of extreme action is wrong for their land and their local economy."
