MEMORANDUM

Posted: October 10, 2017 04:19 PM
From: Representative John Maher
To: All House members
Subject: Clean Power Plan
 
The federal government announced this week that EPA's Clean Power Plan ("CPP"), which has been languishing in the courts for several years, will be set aside permanently.

This news is unsurprising for a number of reasons; most particularly, recognition that bureaucrats drafted regulations well beyond the fence-line of law.

Even so, many in Pennsylvania have invested considerable effort on advancing clean power concepts and, with the hope of capturing that energy, I will be proceeding with legislation for a Pennsylvania Clean Power Plan.

Pennsylvania has been a world leader in reducing carbon emissions and I want our leadership to be sustainable!

Should you wish to be among the pioneers for a Pennsylvania Clean Power Plan, please join as a cosponsor. Any questions, please contact Shelly Weaver at sweaver@pahousegop.com or call 717-783-1522.

I expect to convene a meeting of expected cosponsors before actually introducing legislation so that you will not be signing a blank check by enlisting as a cosponsor now.
