Congressman Latta Requests Hearing on Impacts of Cap and Trade

From Todd Hollenbeck on Friday, November 20, 2009 3:03 PM

A letter went out today from Congressman Bob Lattea (R-Ohio) on behalf of 31 other Midwestern Colleagues requesting a joint hearing with the House Committee on Agriculture, House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and House Committee on Small Businesses to examine the effects of climate change regulations on manufacturing, agriculture, and small businesses in the Midwest. The letter is available in PDF format here.

“Cap-and-Trade legislation, which will have an effect on the energy, jobs, businesses, and industries in the Midwest who rely heavily on coal and natural gas, should be examined and fully considered for negative effects before further proceeding. We need to keep American Farmers to feed America, out manufacturers to keep our citizens by making American-made products, and our small businesses to be given incentives to create jobs and expand operations to new markets.”

Signers of the letter included: House Republican leader John Boehner, Mike Pence, Todd Tiahrt, and Michele Bachmann among others.

Sadly, Mr. Latta can have all the hearings he wants. The Dems have the power to push through the worst legislation possible. Hopefully this will add some pressure on the moderate Dems in the Senate.
