The Buckeye Institute Files Amicus Brief with U.S. Supreme Court Challenging Sweeping EPA Authority

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) urging the court to rein in the administrative power of the EPA and arguing that rules regulating private businesses violate the court’s major questions doctrine. “With more than 350,000 Ohioans directly or indirectly employed in either the mining or oil and gas industries, the proposed EPA rules clearly meet the ‘vast economic and political significance’ threshold in the high court’s major questions doctrine.”
