Dr. Bucshon Comments on SCOTUS Delay of EPA’s Clean Power Plan

3

 Eighth District Congressman and member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement after the Supreme Court issued a stay of the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan:

I’m happy to see the Supreme Court rule in favor of states like Indiana that depend on coal for low-cost energy and good-paying jobs. Let’s be clear: these regulations are not about the environment. They are about controlling our nation’s energy sector and transforming it to fit the ideological views of liberals in Washington, D.C., even at the expense of middle class families here in coal country. 

 “I’ve always maintained that our energy policies should strike the appropriate balance between the way we generate energy and protect our environment. I support an all-of-the-above strategy that incorporates renewables as well as fossil fuels. However, the way forward is through private sector innovation, not top down federal regulations that damage our economy and stymie research and development.”
Last year, a coalition of states, including Indiana, filed a lawsuit challenging the legal standing of the EPA’s “Clean Power Plan”. In December, the House passed a resolution disapproving the plan.

Additionally, in June, the House passed the Ratepayer Protection Act (H.R. 2042), a bill introduced by Congressman Ed Whitfield (KY-01), to protect families and businesses from significant electricity rate increases or reduced electric reliability that may result from EPA’s regulations. Following the vote, Bucshon said:

AG Zoeller testifies before U.S. House subcommittee on preserving state authority to regulate lending, consumer access to credit

0

 Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit today in opposition to new rules proposed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that would preempt state authority to regulate small loan lending and consumer access to credit.

While small loan lending is a policy area that has historically been left to the states, Zoeller said the CFPB’s proposal would create a vast regulatory framework at a national level that would undermine years of state efforts to carefully regulate the industry based on local markets and consumer needs. The top-down regulations, Zoeller said, would constrict the small loan lending market by reputable lenders and force Hoosiers to turn to less scrupulous offerings.

As Indiana’s chief consumer protection advocate, Zoeller testified before committee members on Indiana’s work crafting meaningful, state-specific regulations that give Hoosiers access to credit while not inadvertently driving them to unregulated, unsafe loan products.

“Like other states, Indiana has worked hard to strike this balance between access to credit and protections against predatory lenders,” Zoeller said in his testimony to the subcommittee. “The proposed federal regulations would throw this balance off and reduce access to short-term loans for the people in my state and others who need this type of financial assistance the most and who need it from reputable lenders.”

The CFPB’s proposed regulatory framework was first introduced in March 2015. Zoeller and several other state attorneys general sent letters to the CFPB sharing concerns about the proposal to little avail. A copy of Zoeller’s letter to CFPB Director Richard Cordray is attached.

“The progress we’ve made to advance strong consumer protections that work best for our states should not be undermined,” Zoeller said in his testimony today. “One-size-fits-all, blanket regulations from a federal bureaucracy will only wipe out years of thoughtful, state-specific efforts to assist and protect our citizens.”

The U.S. Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit heard testimony from various individuals during its hearing today on the topic of federal vs. state regulation of small loan lending.

North Side Serial Commercial Burglary Suspect in Custody

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a serial burglar believed to be responsible for a series of commercial burglaries reported within the northern area of Vanderburgh County as well as Gibson County. Mr. John David Heusmann was taken into custody this afternoon and charged multiple counts of Burglary and Theft.

On February 08 the Sheriff’s Office investigated a report of a commercial break-in at the property of Cambridge Golf Course. A maintenance building located at 801 Schroeder Road had been broken into and multiple tools, equipment, firearms and an all-terrain vehicle were taken. On February 09 the Sheriff’s Office investigated a report of a commercial break-in at Mans Excavating located at 20400 Old State Road. A perimeter fence had been cut through and a construction trailer broken into and equipment taken.

Using evidence collected from the crime scene at 20400 Old State Road, the Sheriff’s Office was able to develop Mr. Heusmann as a suspect. A search warrant for Mr. Heusmann’s residence at 12720 County Road 200E in Gibson County was obtained. The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search of Mr. Heusmann’s residence and recovered much of the stolen property. Additional items that were recovered from Mr. Heusmann’s residence had been reported stolen during recent burglaries in Gibson County.

Mr. Heusmann was taken into custody at his residence and denied any involvement in the burglaries. The Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate Mr. Heusmann’s activities and additional charges may be possible.

ARRESTED:

John David Heusmann (pictured above), 37, of Haubstadt. Burglary as a Level 5 Felony (2 counts), Theft as a Level 6 Felony (2 counts), Theft of a Firearm as a Level 6 Felony, Criminal Mischief as a Level 6 Felony
