Calling
President Barack Obama's veto of a resolution (S.J. Res. 22) to disapprove of
the Waters of the U.S. rule "salt in the wounds of farmers and
ranchers," American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said
farmers and ranchers were mystified as to why Obama continues to support the
fatally flawed rule.
"The
Government Accountability Office found the rule was issued with the help of
illegal 'covert propaganda' by EPA. Ninety-two members of Congress, 22 states,
numerous cities and counties and dozens of industry groups have all stood up
and said no to this rule. Courts have ordered the rule temporarily halted
because of the harm it will cause. But, somehow, the president and the EPA just
keep pushing. But we won't stop either. We will not rest until this rule is
gone," Duvall said in a statement.
On
Tuesday, President Obama issued the ninth veto of his presidency
Tuesday, rejecting a congressional resolution that would have overturned
federal regulations on clean water. Read more here: www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/01/19/obama-vetoes-attempt-kill-clean-water-rule/79033958/
