Rep. Barry Loudermilk Supports Measure to Stop Secret Science and Increase Transparency at the EPA

Washington, March 18, 2015 | Shawna Mercer (770-429-1776)

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) has issued the following statement today on the passage of H.R. 1030 – The Secret Science Reform Act of 2015.

“Today’s passage of the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015, H.R. 1030, is critically important to ensuring the use of open, transparent science at the Environmental Protection Agency. While this bill will not ultimately stop regulatory abuse by this or any other administration, it will pull back the veil of secrecy and give the people some transparency.

“We owe it to the American people to restore transparency in the EPA’s regulatory process and ensure the EPA uses the best available science.”
