Haley Barbour Appeals to Fellow Governors to Appose EPA Regulation. By Darren Goode, CongressDaily, February 19, 2010. "Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is trying to ramp up support among fellow governors for efforts in Congress to block EPA from regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. The former Republican National Committee chairman, a prospective 2012 presidential candidate, is floating a draft letter to governors at their winter meeting this weekend asking Congress to use the Congressional Review Act to reject EPA's endangerment finding. That finding cites climate change as a risk to public health and welfare, which the agency is using as justification for pursuing regulations. 'In addition to placing heavy administrative burdens on state environmental quality agencies, regulating greenhouse gases through the Clean Air Act will be costly to consumers and hurt the U.S. economy, resulting in job losses,' according to Barbour's draft."
