(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the bipartisan Air America Act, authored by Congressman Glenn Grothman (WI-06), unanimously passed the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

This bill would eliminate the Chevron deference by amending the scope of judicial review of agency actions. “Our Constitution clearly
