Cafe Standards:  A bad bill reducing the current fuel efficiency standard is expected in senate in the next two weeks.

Regulatory Accountability Act (S.951):  Introduced by Senator Portman (R-OH). The “Regulatory Accountability Act” would make it difficult if not impossible for new rules to take effect. The bill would give those who oppose new rules tools to block them at agencies and in the courts. The result would be to shut down efforts to adopt important new health and safety standards.
