While U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin joined President Trump at the White House on Thursday to celebrate the President’s official elimination of California’s EV mandates, California was joined by Colorado and other states in filing a lawsuit challenging the Presidential move.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser was among those attorneys generals who filed suit in federal district court for northern California.
“The Trump administration’s attack on clean air is breathtaking,” Weiser said in a statement Thursday. “Rolling back the federal Clean Air Act waivers through the illegal use of the Congressional Review Act is an assault on the authority of states, like Colorado, to adopt stronger tailpipe pollution limits than those set by the federal government. We’re in court to defend Colorado’s cost-effective clean car program, which was implemented to improve air quality, reduce harmful ozone pollution, and increase choices that Coloradans have when purchasing an electric vehicle.”
