The report models the economic impact of H.R. 2454 the Waxman-Markey climate change legislation approved by the U.S. House last year. Similar legislation is pending in the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Cornyn will also discuss the EPAs anticipated federal regulations for greenhouse gases and his commitment to fighting these and other overreaching regulations proposed by the current Administration which would negatively impact Texas jobs and the local economy.
The press conference will take place at Mach Industrial Group a Houston-based family-owned metal manufacturing business that would be directly impacted by current cap-and-trade proposals. Sen. Cornyn will be joined by Mach Industrial Group owner Harry Mach Jr. along with other Mach executives and representatives from TPPF Texas Association of Manufacturers and the American Council for Capital Formation. Other state and local business leaders will also be in attendance and available to comment on the reports findings.
