Washington Examiner - A coalition that supports state attorneys general opposing the Trump
administration's rollback of environmental regulations says the top
lawyers in mostly progressive states have taken at least 80 actions in
the past year to challenge those moves.
The State Energy & Environment Impact Center published a report
documenting the actions of state attorneys general who have
used a variety of tactics to challenge the Trump administration as it
seeks to delay or repeal a number of Obama-era environmental
regulations.
"This
report makes clear the outsized role state attorneys general are
playing in advancing and defending progressive policies, regulations and
values pertaining to environmental protection, the causes and impacts
of a changing climate and the development of a clean energy economy,"
said David J. Hayes, executive director of the State Energy and
Environment Impact Center. "State attorneys general are upholding the
rule of law and stopping unlawful actions dead in their tracks at the
courthouse."
