To: Sen. Joseph Lieberman Sen. Richard Blumenthal From: Karen Burnaska, Director Natural Resources League of Women Voters of Connecticut Re: Support the EPA's Authority to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Date: February 10, 2011 Recently bills have been introduced in the Senate that would delay and/or permanently block the Environmental Protection Agency from using the Clean Air Act or other environmental laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in America. On behalf of the League of Women Voters of Connecticut, I urge you to support the work of the EPA in this critical policy area. The Senate should not and cannot make any efforts to stop the work of the EPA where greenhouse gases are concerned. The Supreme Court handed down a decision that EPA must regulate emissions. The EPA’s enforcement authority should not be reduced. This authority is needed to help our country reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help protect the environment for all citizens. Thank you for your consideration. League of Women Voters of Connecticut — 1890 Dixwell Avenue, Hamden, CT 06514 203/288-7996 Add Comment | Advocacy:
