Some highlights. Almost all Republicans voted to approve these:
-An amendment offered by Rep. Carter (R-TX), and passed 250-177, to prevent the EPA from limiting toxic emissions from cement plants. The amendment would block the EPA's efforts to keep 16,000 pounds of mercury a year out of the air.
-An amendment offered by Rep. McKinley (R-WV), and passed 240-182 , would block the EPA from preventing coal-burning utilities from dumping certain types of toxic slurry into rivers and streams.
