Congresswoman Gwen Moore Votes No on Polluters Over People Act
Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore voted no on H.R. 1 and released the following statement:
“I voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to finally put resources towards protecting our planet, building a clean energy economy, and lowering energy costs.
The GOP’s legislation will reverse vital IRA provisions to support clean energy projects and clean energy rebate programs to benefit working families. It weakens an affected community’s ability to file lawsuits following environmental disasters and limits their chance to speak during comment periods. Republicans would hinder the ability of vulnerable communities to voice their concerns about what happens in their own backyard, while enabling major corporations free license to turn their backyards into profit margins. This legislation is a rushed-through, partisan effort that will only help polluters, which is why I voted no.”
