A judge has ordered federal regulators to quickly evaluate how many power plant and coal mining jobs are lost because of air pollution regulations.
U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey in Wheeling made the ruling after reviewing a response from outgoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy.
McCarthy had responded to the judge’s previous order in a lawsuit brought against her by Murray Energy Corp. that the EPA must start doing an analysis that it hadn’t done in decades. […]
The judge said the EPA is required by law to analyze the economic impact on a continuing basis when enforcing the Clean Air Act and McCarthy’s response “evidences the continued hostility on the part of the EPA to acceptance of the mission established by Congress.”
Bailey ordered the EPA to identify facilities harmed by the regulations during the Obama presidency by July 1. That includes identifying facilities at risk of closure or reductions in employment. …

BTW. This bitch should be hanged for what her agency did in CO.
Worthless s^&t!
Everybody seems to be getting the message.
Lock. Her. Up.
So many of these LIB/leftist asshat fascists need arrested. Keep Git mo open.
The EPA is an anti-American criminal organization.
Uh, there’s a new sheriff in town and we demand an economic impact report on that regulation, Mr. freedom-hating bureaucrat!
A very nice review on the case is here: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/01/federal-judge-denounces-epa-as-rogue-agency.php
John always does a good job.
She should be locked up until she pays reparations for damages.
Yes, I know she can't earn money to pay reparations while in prison. That is the point.
actually I think she can... at like 2.50 an hour...
either way.. she’d be dead before it’s paid back. but I say let her work for it.
wow judges now feel they can uphold the law as written. amazing. trump is not even sworn in.
And let her be in supermax general population.
I think the judge should allow penalties on all involved EPA and other associated government employees.
It begins. Federal agencies will henceforth have to follow the law. Period.
Sad times for the old hippies, slackers and hipsters supposedly working in federal agencies.
EPA was created by Nixon with an executive order. Trump can rescind that E.O. with his own E.O.
Bye-Bye, EPA and every regulation it currently lords over us all with. One stroke of the pen, all gone.
BOOM MAGA MAGA MAGA BOOM !
Jan 20th 7 days noon, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
