|  | |  | Supreme Court’s Decision on West Virginia v. EPA Threatens our Future “Today, the Court has decided to hamstring the federal government’s ability to regulate carbon emissions from fossil-fuel-burning power plants,” said EnviroVoters Chief Executive Officer Mary Creasman in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling on West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. “The rulings by our current Court have been designed to cripple government to the point where it can no longer hold corporate polluters accountable and weaken democracy to the point where the majority’s will can be easily ignored without consequence by a corrupt and insular few.” |

|  | Holding Corporate Polluters Accountable with SB 260 Our sponsored bill, SB 260 (the Climate Corporate Accountability Act), would provide necessary transparency and accountability by requiring big corporations to publicly disclose their full carbon footprint. And it’s making headway in the State Legislature: The Senate passed it back in January, and it’s making significant progress in the Assembly. Call and urge your Assemblymember to vote YES on SB 260 to send this critical bill to Governor Newsom’s desk to be signed into law. |
