Attorney General DeWine Statement on Stay of Obama Administration Power Plan

2/10/2016

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine issued the following statement following the United States Supreme Court issuing a stay of the Obama Administration's "Power Plan":

"I am very pleased that the Supreme Court has granted our stay request. This unlawful power plan is a power grab to force states into policies Congress has rejected and that would fundamentally alter the economies of states like Ohio.  This stay is a significant victory, and the "Power Plan" is yet another example of the Obama Administration overstepping its authority."
