A senior Democrat said Tuesday night that he will vote with Republicans on a measure to cancel Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules to rein in climate change.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) said he would support Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-Alaska) resolution of disapproval to halt EPA regulation of greenhouse gases.
“I intend to vote for Sen. Murkowski’s resolution of disapproval because I believe we must send a strong message that the fate of West Virginia’s economy, our manufacturing industries and our workers should not be solely in the hands of EPA,” Rockefeller said in a statement.
