Pennsylvania Rule Faces More Legal Wrangling - The Debate Goes On While the Will of the People is Ignored

From Centre Daily Times

Gov. Ed Rendell's drive to enact tougher restrictions on mercury pollution from Pennsylvania's coal-fired power plants has been blocked by a little-known state agency that publishes a record of administrative actions.

The Legislative Reference Bureau has sided with Senate opponents of Rendell's proposed rule, and refused to publish the text in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Publication in the bulletin is generally the trigger that puts an administrative rule into effect.

As I said in many earlier posts, this is one state that has a debate that just won't go away. Read the latest in this improbable case.
