Senator Dorgan Predicts Senate Won’t Take Up Cap and Trade Bill This Year
Senator Dorgan has found a clever way to increase his earning potential.
The Senate will probably not take up cap-and-trade legislation in 2010, retiring Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., said today. “In the aftermath of a very, very heavy lift on health care, it’s unlikely that the Senate will turn to a very complicated and controversial subject of cap-and-trade,” he told reporters in a conference call.He instead predicted that the Senate will consider the energy bill approved last spring by the Energy and Natural Resources panel, on which he sits. He said he hopes the Senate will pass that bill by the end of June.
