Russell Coleman gives his acceptance speech after wining the seat for Attorney General on Nov. 7, 2023, in Louisville. A federal judge has sided with Coleman by ruling against a Biden administration highway emissions rule.
A federal judge has sided with Kentucky’s Republican attorney general in ruling that the Biden administration overstepped by requiring states to set goals for reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions from vehicle tailpipes and other sources on federal highways.
U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton, of Kentucky’s Western District, in a ¶¶ÒõÖ±²¥Èí¼þ order said the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) lacked legal authority to issue the “arbitrary and capricious†rule. Reuters reported the judge stopped short of enjoining the regulation’s enforcement or vacating it, noting a federal judge in Texas had already struck it down nationwide before Beaton could finish considering the case.
