Because they’d rather gasp smog than turn down what the donors want. /smh
Petersen, a Republican from Gilbert, blasted the rule as “tyrannical” and claimed that it would have negative consequences for Arizona businesses.
“This rule will create unnecessary hardships for job creators and hardworking Arizonans,” he said in an emailed statement accompanying the lawsuit. “It will detrimentally impact our power grid and create even more red tape for both small and large businesses. We have no choice but to ask the courts to provide relief from this tyrannical, arbitrary, and illegal move by the EPA.”
Hyperbolic bullshit much?
