Governor Gordon Applauds U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on Chevron
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Governor Mark Gordon responded to the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of the Chevron doctrine today, calling the decision a victory for common-sense regulatory reform. The Governor’s statement follows:
“For years, unelected bureaucrats running federal agencies in Washington D.C. have used “deference” as an excuse to target certain industries based on politics. Wyoming has experienced that firsthand,” Governor Gordon said. “Limiting their power to overreach is cause for celebration, and this ruling begins that process.
The court has essentially removed the fox from the hen house. This decision ensures that agencies can no longer unilaterally expand their authority beyond the letter of the law. It rejects the strategy of attacking a state’s industries through rules and regulations like those advanced by the Biden Administration.”
Attorney General Bridget Hill filed an amicus brief on the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo case on behalf of the State of Wyoming in July of 2023. In that filing, it was noted that the number of Federal regulations are at an all-time high and the rules published by Federal agencies have outpaced the laws Congress enacted at a rate of 26-to-1.
