Federal Court Blocks EPA Plan to Reduce Air Pollution in Missouri

A federal appeals court has halted an EPA regulation aimed at reducing air pollution in Missouri.
The regulation was related to a "good neighbor" provision of the Clean Air Act.
Missouri's Attorney General called the proposal "unconstitutional overreach."
The EPA deemed Missouri's proposal inadequate and finalized its own plan in March.
Environmentalists criticized the court's decision, citing dangerously high ozone levels in St. Louis.
