AG Tong Urges Congress To Void Trump-Era Rule On Pollutants

Reply April 29, 2021 Attorney General William Tong today joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general and the cities of Denver and Chicago in urging Congress to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to invalidate a Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation that eliminates key limits on pollutants from oil and gas facilities that contribute to climate change and smog. The regulation – known as the methane Rescission Rule – replaced a prior regulation that ensured new oil and natural gas facilities would apply common sense, cost-effective measures to control emissions of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a component of smog. Oil and natural gas facilities are currently the single largest industrial source of methane emissions, and contribute to smog pollution that triggers asthma attacks, and can cause premature death.

Survey: Corporate PACs Took Unprecedented Action by Broadly Suspending Political Contributions Following Capitol Riot

Share this article Share this article NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/  Following the Capitol riot in early January, some corporations swiftly announced that their political action committees (PACs) ceased donating to federal lawmakers who objected to certification of the presidential election. But the results of a new survey reveal that those announcements represent just part of the story.  The Conference Board poll found that only about a quarter of surveyed companies have publicly announced the response of their PACs, and that the number of corporate PACs that ceased contributions to all federal lawmakers was equal to those that stopped them to just the objectors. The results also show the unprecedented nature of the response: Nearly 90% of the survey respondents said that, in the past five years, their PACs had never taken similar action in broadly suspending or cancelling contributions.
