2022 MO Senate race: on Environment


Eric Greitens: Cut $500,000 in funding for state rail service from Amtrak

The state contracts with Amtrak to provide rail service, though lawmakers have for years short-changed the railway. In 2017, for example, former Gov. Eric Greitens cut $500,000 in funding for the service. The state also hasn't paid Amtrak its fair share of the bill since at least 2010 and owes an estimated $3 million.

Eric Schmitt: Opposes EPA move to increase emissions standards

Schmitt is opposing the Environmental Protection Agency's use of "interim values" to regulate light-duty vehicle emission standards. "The Biden administration's attempts to impose massive federal regulations on Missouri's farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers could have vast negative impacts. Now, the Environmental Protection Agency is attempting to use these 'interim values' to increase emissions standards," Schmitt said. "I will always fight back against the Biden administration's overreach."

Eric Schmitt: Condemns EPA rule as "federal government land grab"

Schmitt in a letter to the Biden administration condemned the Environmental Protection Agency's "federal government land grab" over its decision to revise the Obama-era definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS). "Missouri's farmers and ranchers have been tending to their land for generations. They don't need another federal government land grab threatening their livelihood and ability to make a living," Schmitt said.
