The U.S. Chamber of Commerce
What the Chamber of Commerce says about climate change: “We believe that durable climate policy must be made by Congress,” the Chamber of Commerce says on its website. Sounds great!
The Chamber’s response to the budget bill: The group, whose board includes representatives from polluting companies like Dow and Exxon, is “starting to put together an economy-wide coalition to coordinate the fight against the still forming economic package,” according to the Washington Post.
Neil Bradley, the Chamber’s executive vice president, said in a statement that the bill “proposes to fundamentally rewrite the rules of the road across virtually every major industrial sector.” And Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Suzanne Clark said that the “Chamber will do everything we can to prevent this tax raising, job killing reconciliation bill from becoming law.”
