STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three

A RESOLUTION relative to relaxing air quality standards by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Whereas, New Hampshire has long suffered from power plant emissions migrating from the west; and

Whereas, these emissions negatively effect New Hampshire's air quality, forests, lakes, and streams; and

Whereas, the industry made a social contract with the American public 30 years ago to install state-of-the-art pollution controls; and

Whereas, New Hampshire has been a leader in reducing power plant emissions by enacting the multiple pollutant reduction program; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the general court hereby urges Congress to adopt aggressive multiple pollutant reduction legislation to reduce power plant emissions similar to the legislation adopted by the state of New Hampshire; and

That copies of this resolution be forwarded by the house clerk to the President of the United States; the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; the President of the United States Senate; The Justices of the United States Supreme Court; and the members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
