NEWS ABOUT THE OFFICE





*Fighting federal overreach and job-killing climate extremism, Attorney General Todd Rokita leads multistate suit against Biden-Harris 'Clean Power Plan 2.0'*

"U.S. Environmental Protection Agency edict is designed to expand control over lives and kill jobs"

Taking the next step in a lawsuit of massive ramifications, Attorney General Todd Rokita and fellow plaintiffs have filed an opening brief in federal appeals court asserting that an invasive new EPA rule is unlawful.

Further, if implemented, the Biden-Harris administration rule would 1) threaten the reliability of America’s power grid, 2) jack up utility costs for U.S. consumers, 3) destroy jobs and 4) wreck the nation’s economy.

“This extremist rule would prove absolutely devastating to everyday, hardworking Hoosiers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It would expand the federal government’s control of people’s lives without even helping conserve the natural environment in any meaningful way. Plus it would kill jobs.”

Attorney General Rokita announced in May that he and West Virginia’s attorney general were co-leading a 25-state lawsuit opposing the Biden-Harris administration’s “Clean Power Plan 2.0.” Other states and industry are challenging the rule as well.

The EPA rule takes deadly aim at coal-fired power plants — requiring many to capture 90% of carbon emissions using expensive, unproven technology. And in the meantime, as federal bureaucrats promise a future filled with unspecified "green" jobs, the EPA's rule forces the premature closure of these plants. This takes a two-part hit on Hoosiers: the killing of jobs and the expansion of the federal government's control over everyday people's lives. Countless hard workers are put in imminent and long-term peril, including the jobs of people in coal-fired power plants and adjacent employees who work for companies which provide supplies, transportation, logistics and other day-to-day services. By causing higher energy costs across all industries, the rule also forces budget-cutting and a potentially seismic reduction in the overall work force. This rule exceeds the agency’s statutory authority and gives insufficient consideration to important facts, such as cost and grid reliability.

“There is no justification — none — for surrendering state and local authority to power-hungry unelected bureaucrats in the federal government,” Attorney General Rokita said. “And we certainly face no dire crisis requiring us to torpedo our state and national economy.”

While the Biden administration seeks to appease the powerful political forces behind a radical climate agenda, Attorney General Rokita and his allies seek to preserve reliable energy at affordable prices.

The opening brief is attached.

Todd Rokita talks tenants’ rights in visit to Cedar Glen Apartments

"SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - There is mounting momentum for tenants’ rights advocates in the South Bend area.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita made the trip to the Cedar Glen Apartments in South Bend on Wednesday. It’s a place where tenants lived without heat or hot water [ [link removed] ] for weeks and months at a time.

The Republican Attorney General’s office worked with Democrat Portage Township Trustee Jason Critchlow to address the situation.

The result was a voluntary compliance agreement [ [link removed] ] that saw the apartment owners invest in new equipment and pay $10,600 in rent credits to affected tenants.

“What I’ve found is, in speaking to a lot of townships and local governments all over the State of Indiana, we do seem to have a little bit of a worse culture here on what we’re accepting from landlords, and I think we kind of even ran into it here when we first got involved here. Kind of left and right, Alex and I were told like, this isn’t anything, you don’t, the law doesn’t allow this. There’s nothing you can do. And our opinion was well, when we run into a brick wall we’ll know, and we just kind of kept going. The attorney general stepped in and said, “We’re here to fight alongside you and so, we never ran into that brick wall,” Portage Township Trustee, Jason Critchlow said at a mid-afternoon news conference.

Critchlow plans to use momentum the movement that has gained to make a pitch for a township rental property inspection program of its own to better hold landlords accountable for the condition of their properties."

*Back to school and back to recalls*

*"Attorney General Todd Rokita raises awareness for consumers of harmful household products recalled in August"*

Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers of important consumer protection concerns for products recalled in August. The office encourages consumers to take advantage of opportunities available for those who purchase recalled items that could be harmful to their families.    

“Even though fall is around the corner, house projects are a year round task,” Attorney General Rokita said. “That means making sure household products are working correctly. Hoosiers shouldn’t have to deal with faulty items. If you have one of the recalled products, stop using it immediately and pursue resolution from the manufacturer.” 

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, click here [ [link removed] ] to see the following consumer products that were recalled in August.

If you believe you recently purchased a recalled product, stop using it, and check its recall notice (linked above for all products). Then follow the notice’s instructions, including where to return the product, how to get the product fixed, how to dispose of the product, how to receive a refund for the product, or what steps must be taken to receive a replacement product.   

To view recalls issued prior to July visit the Consumer Protection Safety Commission website [ [link removed] ].
