CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WVDN) – Governor Patrick Morrisey issued the following statement Tuesday in response to the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to repeal the “endangerment finding”:
“I applaud the EPA’s plan to rescind the ‘endangerment finding,’ which was used by the Obama and Biden administrations to strangle West Virginia’s economy and make America less competitive internationally,” said Governor Morrisey. “The ‘endangerment finding’ represents quintessential federal overreach and was never borne out by the law. President Trump and Administrator Zeldin are reining in this overreach so states such as West Virginia can unleash American energy and compete successfully against China.”
