The Hill reports:
Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.) lambasted the Obama administration Tuesday for only sending two officials to testify this week about the president’s climate change regulations.
Whitfield, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce’s subcommittee on Energy and Power, is set to convene a hearing Wednesday to take stock of President Obama’s climate plan. The hearing comes more than a month after the lawmaker sent requests to the top 13 federal agencies, asking their leaders to testify.
How can Congress get the Obama administration’s (and their agencies’) attention? Cut their funding. Do they have the political will to do it? That’s another question.
Like the O man himself, none of these agencies want to have anything on record they can be held accountable for.
