Brady: “I support sound standards for clean air and water, but I want them based on sound science, not politics or the secret work of special interests.”
Washington, DC – U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) released the following statement on the passage of H.R. 1029, the EPA Science Advisory Board Reform Act of 2015 and H.R. 1030, Secret Science Reform Act of 2015 which passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 236-161 and 241-175 vote:
“The EPA has a frightening amount of power over the lives of families and businesses, and has kept its practices secret from the American people for too long. Is it too much to insist that when this agency mandates regulations that can harm jobs and the economy, that these be based on open and verifiable data?
I support sound standards for clean air and water, but I want them based on sound science, not politics or the secret work of special interests. Sunshine is the best disinfectant for a muddy government.”
