"NASEO also strongly supports Senator Merkley's (along with Senators' Brown (OH), Cardin, Pryor, Sanders and Stabenow) Building STAR legislation."
"Building Star energy efficiency measures would result in greenhouse gas reductions, as Senator Merkley pointed out, the equivalent of taking about 4 million cars off the road."
"We estimate that it would create between 150,000 and 200,000 jobs."
"We commend Senators Jeff Merkley, Mark Pryor, Debbie Stabenow, Sherrod Brown, Bernie Sanders, and Ben Cardin for their leadership in sponsoring this bill."
