Dear President Obama, Back Off. Sincerely, Rick Perry

AUSTIN (May 28, 2010)—Gov. Rick Perry sent a letter Friday to President Barack Obama in which he “respectfully and strongly” requested that the president stop the Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to take over the Texas air quality program.


Read Gov. Perry’s Letter To The President

The EPA announced Tuesday it would directly issue an operating permit to a Corpus Christi refinery and would begin taking similar action in 39 other cases.

By June 30, the EPA plans to disapprove a permitting program, affecting about 140 plants.

The EPA says Texas is violating the Clean Air Act and The Associated Press obtained documents that show that the state is letting plants produce twice as much pollution as the law allows, including emissions of cancer-causing toxins such as benzene and butadiene.

Perry and other state officials take issue with the claims and in the letter to Mr. Obama, the governor said the Texas program for permitting pollutants released by petrochemical plants has improved air quality.

Tough...

Someone has got to represent the people of Texas, you surely won't.

Love,

Obama
