Montana state lawmakers, business groups reject proposed greenhouse gas limits

A bipartisan legislative panel Friday voted to delay the creation of rules to regulate greenhouse gases as a pollutant in Montana, after a host of business interests objected to the initiative.

"I think we need to slow things down and get some answers," said Rep. Mike Milburn, R-Cascade, who made the motion to formally object to the Board of Environmental Review’s rule-making process.

The Environmental Quality Council, a legislative and citizen panel that examines environmental issues for the Legislature, voted 10-6 to support Milburn’s motion.
