Aiken Electric, my local power company, publishes a monthly magazine. In the latest issue there’s an article by the CEO claiming that these EPA rules could push my electric bill up by 54%.

The EPA, like most federal agencies, is out of control.

OSHA got overzealous on safety regulations some time ago and CONgress threatened to refund them is they did not comply.

It worked.

I don’t think it will be too long before Barry and his boy, Eric the Holder, have the FBI coming around reading our electrical meters.

Five years into the Obama regime and he is just discovering that their goal is to destroy America. Sorry, Pal. We’re entering the fourth quarter and are down 75 points.

Well, it was a political maneuver by this administration
to put those regulations in place.

Liberals generally accuse you of what they are doing.

the Congressional Review Act, a rarely used provision that allows Congress to block executive branch regulations that Congress considers onerous

"rarely used" - I see the problem already

Limiting the EPAs ability to make law instead of enforcing laws passed by the two legislative bodies is what needs to be done. To do anything less lets them continue forcing their ideology down peoples throats on other fronts.

Stupid comment. Senators are representatives of their state.

Not to worry. He will be caving soon for the right price... or Reid and the media tells him that he’s being a bad boy.
