Arnold Serves Notice at EPA

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger officially notified the EPA today that he will sue in 6 months if the agency hasn’t granted California a waiver for stricter air quality standards by then. (Six-months’ notice is required by law.) The state first started trying to implement the standards in 2005, but officials had to wait for the ruling in this month’s Supreme Court decision, which debunked the EPA’s claim that it doesn’t have the authority to regulate emissions. You go, Manlie Man!
