Western Caucus to Hold Hearing on Cap-and-Trade

On Thursday, July 30, members of the Congressional Western Caucus "will hold a historic bicameral hearing on cap and trade. With President Obama's original deadline just days away, and as the Senate continues to become further entangled in the complex web of cap and trade's costly regulations and mandates, this hearing will feature policy experts and key stakeholders who will examine the specific economic impact cap and trade policies are likely to have on the West and the nation." Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett, Reps. Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz, former Rep. Dick Armey, Deseret Power CEO Kimball Rasmussen, and National Black Chamber of Commerce CEO Harry Alford will participate. (See press release.)
