The Trump administration is expected on Wednesday to formally revoke California's legal authority to set tailpipe pollution rules that are stricter than federal rules, in a move designed by the White House to strike twin blows against both the liberal-leaning state that President Trump has long antagonized and the environmental legacy of President Barack Obama.
The announcement that the White House will revoke one of California's signature environmental policies will come while Mr. Trump is traveling in the state, where he is scheduled to attend fund-raisers in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley. The formal revocation of California's authority to set its own rules on tailpipe pollution -- the United States' largest source of greenhouse emissions -- will be announced Wednesday afternoon at a private event at the Washington headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency, according to two people familiar with the matter. A White House spokesman referred questions on the matter to the Environmental Protection Agency. A spokesman for the E.P.A. did not respond to an email requesting comment. Xavier Becerra, the attorney general of California, wrote in an email: "California will continue its advance toward a cleaner future. We're prepared to defend the standards that make that promise a reality."
1) How do you revoke the right of a state to set a policy like this? What happened to state's rights? Revoke authority? Like they can't make their own laws? WTF???
2) Fuck anyone in California who donates to this psychopath's campaign !!!
