BOOM: This States New Repub Gov Just Sent An EPIC 2-Word Message To The EPA Obama Will H**e It--8kh., b12-1
Kentucky Gov.-elect Matt Bevin made a promise when he campaigned for office that when the Environmental Protection Agency bureaucrats came calling to interfere with Kentuckys coal economy, hed tell them to keep on going or face a fight.
Bevin maintained Kentuckys coal is a tremendous asset and not, as Obama would paint it, a liability.
Why it is that we in Kentucky that sit on two extraordinary basins, the Illinois basin and the Central basin, an abundance of this how are we not participating in something that the world wants more of than they ever have? he asked.
Bevin maintained Kentuckys coal is a tremendous asset and not, as Obama would paint it, a liability.We will tell the EPA and other unelected officials who have no legal authority over us as a state, to pound sand, Bevin said.
Bevin said that the 10th Amendment to the Constitution is one of the most powerful tools at his disposal, because it states that power not expressly given to the federal government is reserved to states.
He contested EPAs authority, and said its only recourse would be to take Kentucky to court.
The EPA, for example, they dont have an enforcement arm, Bevin said. They use federal dollars. They use our own money. They bribe us with our own money to stick it to ourselves. And we will not do that anymore in the state of Kentucky.As a candidate, Bevin vowed to fight Obamas Clean Power Plan, which requires curbs on greenhouse gas emissions from Kentuckys coal-rich energy sector. He promised to not enforce any federal rules that would hurt Kentuckys economy.
In his campaign platform, Bevin also vowed to use his offices constitutional right to legal discretion when enforcing environmental laws. This may include instructing its regulatory enforcement agencies to ignore federal regulations that are unreasonable and excessive.
