Environment - Louisville coalition wants to halt program to regulate toxic air
The Louisville Courier Journal reports today:
Nineteen Louisville companies, unions and trade associations announced yesterday that they have joined forces in an attempt to end Louisville's new Strategic Toxic Air Reduction program.The coalition, which includes auto workers and union members at several Rubbertown chemical plants, as well as some of the plants themselves, said the program, or STAR, is too costly and might not improve air quality.
The group is encouraging the passage of state Senate Bill 39, which would prohibit the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District from adopting regulations more stringent than state or federal ones.
