Rep Tim Walberg voted today in favor of H.R. 4480, the Domestic Energy and Jobs Act.

The bill passed by a bipartisan vote of 248 to 163.

H.R. 750, Defending America's Affordable Energy and Jobs Act, reached a legislative milestone yesterday and picked up its 100^th cosponsor. The legislation would prevent the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases without Congressional approval and stop Washington bureaucrats from implementing a cap-and-trade program that will drive up energy prices on families and businesses. H.R. 750 has been endorsed by a host of public policy organizations and taxpayer groups, and is a companion bill to Senator Barrasso’s (R-WY) S.228.

In response to today’s Supreme Court ruling on President Obama’s health care law, Rep Tim Walberg released the following statement:

“Today the Supreme Court ruled that President Obama broke his pledge of the law not increasing taxes and that there does not seem to be a limit to what the federal government can force us to do. Although I am stunned by the nature of the ruling, it in no way prevents Congress from repealing and replacing the law in the future.
