Hatch Rebukes EPA for Costly New Regulations

 

 

 

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Orrin Hatch, the most senior Republican in the United States Senate, issued the following statement on the EPA’s release of new regulations on the eve of Thanksgiving:

“The EPA's plan to implement this costly regulation comes at a time when Americans are already suffering under the weight of nearly $2 trillion in regulatory burdens, the highest in our nation’s history. Rather than pile on additional, unwarranted regulations like this one, we ought to focus instead on reducing outdated and unnecessary rules, as well as ensuring that the benefits of future regulations outweigh their costs. I’m committed to advancing such reforms in the next Congress, which will allow America’s economy to thrive once again.”
