On the recordNovember 10, 2011
If my colleague will yield, we had a strong bipartisan vote on the floor on this issue. He is exactly right. All States in this country will benefit from it. Illinois is a State that also receives pollution from other States. Pollution does not know a State line. We cannot stop the air from traveling. I think my colleague is exactly right. This was not just the east coast. It happens to be at the tailpipe, as we say it, of the pollution in America, but the Midwest is very much impacted and this regulation will help the health of the people of the Midwest and throughout the country. I thank my colleague for his comments. Honoring Our Veterans
