WASHINGTON — Nearly 100 members of Congress urged the Environmental Protection Agency to implement "the strongest feasible" emissions standards in a letter Thursday.
The letter, signed by 12 Democratic senators and more than 80 House members, contrasts with opposition to the standards from Republicans in Congress and major automakers.
U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Shri Thanedar of Detroit were the only two members of Michigan's delegation to sign on to the letter, which was led by Sens. Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Alex Padilla of California, and Reps. Doris Matsui of California and Yvette Clarke of New York, all Democrats.
