CFA Urges State Governors to Boycott Automakers Who Are Supporting Trump's Attack on the Clean Air Act

CFA TC

Three national consumer groups, Consumer Federation of America, Consumer Action and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety are urging governors of 23 states that are members of the U.S. Climate Alliance, to boycott the automakers through state fleet purchases who are supporting President Trump’s attack on states’ rights and the Clean Air Act. These nine automakers are supporting the Trump administration in the litigation dealing with the revocation of Section 177 of the Clean Air Act. This action will strip away states’ rights to adopt a stronger vehicle emissions standard which will save American's at the pump. Section 177 of the Clean Air Act has enjoyed bi-partisan support for more than 40 years.
