Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is asking Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler to withdraw a plan to prohibit the use of the latest scientific studies in its decision-making.
She says only during the Trump administration would a threatened lawsuit be needed to defend the use of scientific studies.
Healey and a coalition of leaders from 23 states, counties and cities argue the rule proposed by former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is illegal and a threat to public health.
