The Times-Picayune on a new battle for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
The Jindal administration is mounting a coordinated campaign against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's plan to regulate the man-made gases thought to be responsible for climate change and has filed letters protesting the potential economic dislocation of the proposed policy.
On Monday, Gov. Bobby Jindal and the secretaries of the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and Louisiana Economic Development filed objections with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, a New Orleans native, on economic grounds.... In his letter, Jindal said the proposed rules "will have a dramatic, chilling effect on the refining and production capability of our state" and that cost of increased regulation will reduce the chances that companies will create jobs.
If you remember, both of Louisiana's Senators, including Democrat Mary Landrieu oppose the EPA's decision.
