SB87 • The Utah Senate on Monday rejected a proposal to allow the state to adopt clean-air rules more stringent than those set by the federal government. Senators rejected SB87 on a 12-16 vote.

Utah Democratic Party Chairman Peter Corroon blasted the move as contrary to the common Republican lament that Washington too often dictates policy to the state.
