“As I stated in my earlier remarks on the Floor of the House, ‘These EPA regulations fail the common sense test.  That agency is on a regulatory path to destruction of our economy, they’re destroying our jobs and they must be reined in.’   

“I urge Senator Reid to allow the Senate to vote on this bipartisan bill, get it to the President’s desk and let’s allow American businesses to spend their time creating jobs instead of cutting through the EPA’s bureaucratic and unnecessary regulations.�

Originally introduced in the House by Rep. Gibbs (R-OH), this bipartisan legislation passed the House on March 31, 2011 by a vote of 292-130, including 57 Democrat “yeaâ€? votes. To view Rep. Scott’s full Floor statement from the House debate on H.R. 872, click here.
