“With stagnant 9.1 percent unemployment, the President should continue to cut his other regulations that destroy jobs and economic growth across America.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement regarding President Obama’s decision to withdraw the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed ozone standards:

"Job creators scored a major victory today in the fight against Washington’s red tape.  After months of discussions, the White House finally admitted that its ozone rule was completely unnecessary and bad for our economy.  The EPA continues to push a long list of other regulations that will make it harder for the private sector to create new jobs.  With stagnant 9.1 percent unemployment, the President should continue to cut his other regulations that destroy jobs and economic growth across America."
