Biden hit with legal challenge over stringent air-quality regulationWND by Nick Pope Daily Caller News Foundation 3/9/2024
Argue regulation is arbitrary, capricious and illegalA coalition of red state attorneys general is challenging the Biden administration over one of its most stringent air quality regulations.
Twenty-four states are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent tightening of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM2.5), arguing that the regulation is arbitrary, capricious and illegal. The EPA reduced the allowable the annual PM2.5 standard from 12 micrograms per cubic meter to 9 micrograms per cubic matter, or by about 25%
“The EPA’s new rule has more to do with advancing President Biden’s radical green agenda than protecting Kentuckians’ health or the environment,” Republican Kentucky Attorney General Russel Coleman said in a statement about the lawsuit. “This rule will drive jobs and investment out of Kentucky and overseas, leaving employers and hardworking families to pay the price.”
In addition to Kentucky, the states represented in the petition include West Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming.
