Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence today issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling in Michigan et al. v. EPA, where the State of Indiana was one of a group of state government petitioners.
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a victory for Indiana and for Hoosiers. For too long, the repercussions of costly regulations and federal overreach have been overlooked in Washington, where the Administration’s approach to energy policy has placed environmental concerns above all others. However, as Governor, I can confidently say the financial and economic impact of these policies are detrimental to Hoosier families and businesses alike here in Indiana.
“With today’s ruling in mind, I reaffirm my call for the Environmental Protection Agency to develop and implement energy policies that strike the proper balance between the health of the environment and the health of the economy. Only then can we ensure the safe and responsible stewardship of our natural resources and meet our shared goal of reliable, affordable energy.â€
