Press Release

Today U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), former Texas Attorney General, issued the following statement after the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia vacated the EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CASPR):

"Today's ruling puts the brakes on regulatory overreach by the Obama administration's EPA. While we have a long way to go in the fight against burdensome overreach, today's ruling is a victory for jobs and job creators in Texas."

In June 2011, Sen. Cornyn sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to highlight the dangers of unfairly sweeping Texas into the final Cross-State Air Pollution Rule program without due process. This letter followed Sen. Cornyn's appearance in a hearing on this subject before the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety.
