The Supreme Court of the United States this week temporarily blocked the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Good Neighbor Plan” by a 5 to 4 vote.

In their decision, the court ruled that the emissions-reductions standards set by the plan were likely to cause “irreparable harm” to nearly half of all U.S. states.

The OMA issued a statement on the block, pointing out the unobtainable and damaging standards the rule would have put in place, and thanking Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost for leading the charge to challenge the rule. 6/27/2024
