EPA's proposed water rule makes waves in fierce Senate fight

摘要

Iowa Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst is taking her opponent, Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley, to task for a vote he cast last week against a House measure that seeks to stop a hotbutton U.S. EPA water proposal. The legislation would block EPA's proposal to expand the number of waterways and wetlands due automatic Clean Water Act protection. The Obama administration's proposal, which aims to clean up a regulatory quagmire created by two muddled Supreme Court decisions, has riled farmers who call it a federal land grab.
