ADERHOLT WRITES LETTER TO EPA OPPOSING THE CONSIDERATION OF A LIVESTOCK TAX

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency this week opposing the consideration of an emissions tax on farm livestock. Although Congressman Aderholt was told by EPA and Department of Agriculture sources that this proposal would not move forward at this time, he is taking proactive steps to help ensure that this type of tax is never considered in any new Administration.

The letter was specifically sent to Administrator Stephen Johnson, the top executive appointed at the EPA, and Louise Wise, who is the EPA Principal Deputy Associate Administrator.

Like most Alabamians, Congressman Aderholt strongly believes that any emissions tax on livestock is an unacceptable idea. Rep. Aderholt has diligently fought against unrealistic farming regulation throughout his time in Washington and he will monitor this situation with the same perseverance.
