Press Release
Issues: Energy Environment
Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after voting to overturn the Obama administration's stream rule.
The resolution of disapproval (S.J. Res. 10), brought under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), had already passed the House of Representatives, and passed the Senate by a vote of 54 to 45.
"Today, the Senate delivered a major victory for coal country," said Barrasso. "The Obama administration's flawed stream rule ignored the input of state regulators and put thousands of jobs in jeopardy.
"I look forward to working with Congress and the Trump administration to repeal more midnight regulations like this one."
