States and cities sue federal agencies over weaker fuel economy rules
Original: States, cities sue fed agencies over weaker vehicle fuel economy rules
A coalition of states and cities has filed a lawsuit against federal agencies over newly weakened vehicle fuel economy standards, according to the Detroit News. The plaintiffs argue the rollback of fuel efficiency requirements will increase emissions and gasoline consumption. The legal challenge is the latest in a series of state-level battles against federal deregulation of environmental and auto industry rules.
Why now: The rollback of fuel economy standards is a contentious environmental and economic issue, drawing immediate legal pushback from state and city governments.
