Statement on Supreme Court Ruling Regarding Clean Power Plan

Cheyenne, Wyoming – House Speaker Kermit Brown, Majority Floor Leader Rosie Berger, House Speaker Pro Tempore Tim Stubson and House Majority Whip Hans Hunt issued the following statement today after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan:

“The EPA’s Clean Power Plan has had a bullseye on Wyoming since day one. This gross overreach of the federal government has the potential to devastate Wyoming families, communities and local economies. We are pleased the Supreme Court has taken this decisive action to halt President Obama’s hasty, short-sighted efforts with regards to coal-fired power plants.”
