AG Raoul co-led a coalition of 21 states and local governments filing a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s repeal of the 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule and reversion to outdated standards that harm the environment and public health.
“The Trump administration has made a significant step backwards, allowing more toxic air pollution that will harm our communities. Mercury and other types of pollution from fossil fuel power plants cause serious negative health effects, especially for children. I’m committed to fighting back against this administration’s attacks on crucial protections for our health and the environment.” – AG Raoul
