Abbott persuades EPA to rethink ozone pollution rules
Original: Greg Abbott sways EPA with plea to reconsider ‘burdensome’ ozone pollution rules
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has successfully pressed the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider federal ozone pollution standards he has criticised as burdensome for the state. The EPA agreed to revisit the rules after his appeal, a move likely to please Texas industry but draw concern from environmental and public health advocates who say weaker ozone standards could worsen air quality in cities like Houston.
Why now: The EPA's decision to reconsider ozone rules after the Texas governor's appeal is new and politically charged news.
