Additionally, in the case of many of the 88 rules, EPA will argue that the regulation has been a work in progress for years. The fact that the EPA is cramming though scores of rules and other regulatory decisions without public discourse is irresponsible. I call on the Administration to exercise regulatory restraint and stop exceeding its legal authority without undergoing appropriate rulemaking procedures. Rushed and poor judgement and deliberate acts that exceed an agency's authority can cause serious disruptions in the course of American families' lives. Therefore, I, along with other Members of Congress, will explore the various options, which Congress could use to address this Administration's numerous egregious political and anti-democratic actions.
Environmental protection is vitally important, but so is the integrity of our government.
