Rep. Gosar Slams EPA for Blatantly Ignoring Facts & Moving Forward with Proposed Ozone Regulation

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its final rule to drastically expand ground-level ozone standards:

"Only in Obama's far-left world, where the EPA mandates are dictated by special-interest groups, would an agency tighten ozone regulations when air pollution is dramatically decreasing. Today's announcement provides further evidence that the Obama Administration is hell bent on appeasing billionaire environmental activists like Tom Steyer at any cost--even if that cost results in one of the most expensive regulations ever and crushes our stagnant economy, killing tens of thousands of jobs.

"It's shameful that EPA Administrator McCarthy ignored the advice of physicians throughout the country and "made a judgment call' to move forward with this extremely costly, burdensome and misguided regulation. Hard-working Arizona families can't afford billion dollar regulations imposed by D.C. bureaucrats on a whim that aren't grounded in sound science. Congress should immediately reject this new regulation that will dramatically harm American manufacturing and our global competitiveness, resulting in more U.S. jobs being displaced overseas."
