Why Are 20 Far-Away States Trying To Block The Cleanup Of The Chesapeake Bay?

This is unbelievable.

Earlier this year, a group of 21 Attorneys General from states as far away from the Chesapeake Bay as Alaska and Wyoming submitted an amicus brief that aims to strike down the EPA’s Chesapeake cleanup plan. The AGs argue that the cleanup plan raises serious concerns about states’ rights, and they worry that if the plan is left to stand, the EPA could enact similar pollution limits on watersheds such as the Mississippi.

States rights? The EPA cleanup plan was created at the request of the six Chesapeake Bay states.
