John Tidwell, Oklahoma State Director of Americans For Prosperity, released the following statement regarding passage of Senate Bill 676.
“On behalf of Americans For Prosperity and our 35,000 activists across Oklahoma, we thank our state lawmakers for hearing the voices of everyday Oklahomans and passing SB 676 to protect taxpayers and consumers in the Sooner State from the overreach of President Obama’s EPA.
“Over the past few months, our organization has lead the charge to push back against the harmful effects of President Obama’s Clean Power Plan in Oklahoma. SB 676 will provide our Governor, Attorney General, state agencies and our elected officials, with the tools necessary to avoid costly compliance costs and to fight the implementation of a regulation that has unsettled legal authority under the Clean Air Act. Ultimately, this bill will help protect Oklahoma families and businesses from unnecessary burdens placed on our state from an overreaching federal administration.
