Kansas House approves resolution calling EPA's air-quality rules harmful to national economy
By Associated Press
9:23 a.m. CDT, March 24, 2011

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas House has approved a resolution saying the Environmental Protection Agency's air-quality regulations are hurting the national economy.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the resolution is a near copy of one offered to state legislatures by the American Legislative Exchange Council. The Washington-based organization says it has 2,000 state legislators as members. It is largely funded by oil, chemical and corporate interests, including foundations controlled by Wichita-based Koch Industries.

It's really encouraging to see news stories mentioning not only ALEC but Koch Industries funding ALEC.
