A U.S. Appeals Court has denied the request of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to rehear a case on a pollution rule that was challenged by Attorney General Scott Pruitt and other attorneys general in a multi-state lawsuit.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied the request by the EPA, ruling the EPA had exceeded its authority under the Clean Air Act in creation of the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). The court specifically ruled the EPA must allow states the opportunity to meet regulations as provided under federal law.
I began running a business when I was only 20 years old. Back then it if you worked hard and followed the rules; you had a pretty good shot at getting ahead.
Today it seems the deck is increasingly stacked against those who work hard and pursue their own dreams, especially if you are a business owner.
More and more, we are faced with constant uncertainty caused by Washington’s inability to take action on today’s pressing problems. This failure results in uncertainty with tax rates, near chaos in the markets and a never ending stream of impractical regulations handed down from misinformed bureaucrats.

Analysis: Bill Christensen announced his candidacy for mayor months ago and yesterday former-mayor Kathy Taylor (who declined to run after one term) announced she will campaign again.

More important than who runs, if you don’t mind a huge lack of preference, is what are the issues of the Mayor’s race and how will each candidate define Tulsa’s future?
