California air resources board takes a breather from EPA power battle
The state air resources board has decided to delay a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency.
The state was trying to obtain the power to regulate emissions from new cars. In April, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the federal EPA has the authority to regulate such matters. According to a press release the state is delaying the lawsuit requesting a waiver from EPA control that the federal courts would have to grant.
“Governor Schwarzenegger believes the state and federal government should remain focused on the southern California wildfi res. We have decided to postpone fi ling the lawsuit until the fi res are under control and the victims are on the road to recovery,” said Mary Nichols, chair of the air resources board.
