They Write Letters: California Greenhouse Gas Emissions Edition

Speaker Pelosi is not the California politician to have notified Rep. Bouscher of their opposition to his bill, which would overrule California's greenhouse gas emissions legislation. A dozen Democrats, including Rep. Jane Harman and Rep. Henry Waxman sent a letter to Rep. Bouscher. Arnold signed on to a letter along with the governors from Arizona, Massachusetts, New York, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington. AP:

"Congress must not deny states the right to pursue solutions in the absence of federal policy," they wrote.

This should set up a fight in the House Energy and Commerce committee, with some Republicans joining Rep. Bouscher and Dingell.
