What do you think about a "Republican" who is
scared to death of the Federal Government, doesn't believe we are a Sovereign
state, won't help the people of Georgia by stopping the EPA
"MANDATE"?
Frank Ginn (Senate 47th) who has a "R" next to
his name but is really Democrat, and a Chicken - S--t one at that. So scared is
this "R" in name only that he is denying a hearing on SB 311 which
would block the EPA mandate in Georgia.
Ginn is the Chairman of the Natural Resources and the
Environment committee. Damn the citizens of Georgia, we have to "do more
vetting" on a UN-Constitutional Mandate from an UN-Constitutional agency.
Get a clue and a pair of COJONES Frank Ginn, you are killing us.
And while we are at it, who the hell do you think you are
denying a hearing? What special interest groups pocket are you in Frank Ginn,
what's your kick back from screwing all the citizens of Georgia?
See the article below from the AJC of February 04, 2016,
then call Chicken Frank Ginn and demand a hearing on SB 311. Phone: (404)

Anti-Obama climate legislation stalled in Georgia Senate

Georgia senators have likely put off for another year a
bill to fight President Obama’s climate change plans, essentially taking a
wait-and-see approach as the state pursues an already filed legal challenge.
State Sen. Charlie Bethel, R-Dalton, filed Senate Bill
311 earlier this week, proposing to include Georgia in a so-called Interstate
Power Compact to thwart guidelines issued last summer by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Those federal guidelines require states to dramatically
reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but Bethel suggested that states themselves
should be able to craft their own less dramatic “carbon reduction plans based
on achievable outcomes within existing power plants” before sending them to
Washington.

On Thursday, however, state Sen. Frank Ginn,
R-Danielsville, rebuffed the bill, saying the issue needed more vetting before
lawmakers pursued it. Instead, Ginn — the chairman of the Senate Natural Resources
and the Environment Committee — has asked for a study committee to look at it
further, adding that “this legislation will probably come back to us next
term.”
Georgia joined two dozen other states last November in a
lawsuit blocking the EPA’s new standards. Georgia had previously sued, along
with other mostly Republican states, to halt Obama’s Clean Power Plan which
mandates steep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Frank Ginn
needs to schedule SB 311 for a hearing for this session. His failure to do so will result in more
unnecessary increases in our electric bills.
The EPA power
plant carbon reduction regulations are based on the global warming hoax. The
Georgia Legislature is empowered to stop this federal treason.

Senate Bill 311
By: Senators Bethel of the 54th, Shafer
of the 48th, Mullis of the 53rd, Hill of the 6th, Harper
of the 7th and others
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
1 To amend Chapter 10 of Title 12 of the
Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to
2 interstate compacts and conservation
and natural resources, so as to enact the Interstate
3 Power Compact; to provide for related
matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other
4 purposes.
5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF GEORGIA:
6 SECTION 1.
7 Chapter 10 of Title 12 of the Official
Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to interstate
8 compacts and conservation and natural
resources, is amended by adding a new article to read
9 as follows:
10 "ARTICLE 8
11 12-10-120.
12 The Interstate Power Compact is
enacted into law and entered into with all other
13 jurisdictions legally joining therein
in the form substantially as follows:
14 INTERSTATE POWER COMPACT
15 Whereas, the separation of powers,
both between the branches of the Federal government
16 and between Federal and State
authority, is essential to the preservation of individual
17 liberty;
18 Whereas, the Constitution creates a
federal government of limited and enumerated
19 powers, and reserves to the states or
to the people those powers not specifically granted
20 to the Federal government;
16 LC 37 2091
S. B. 311
- 2 -
21 Whereas, Article I, Section 10,
Clause 3 of the Constitution provides states the power to
22 enter into agreements or compacts
with other states;
23 Whereas, on June 2, 2014, the United
States Environmental Protection Act (EPA) issued
24 proposed guidelines directing the
states to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from
25 power generation, purportedly in
accordance with Section 111(d) of the federal Clean Air
26 Act ('Section 111(d) rule') and
published this proposed rule for comment in the Federal
27 Register on June 16, 2014, 74 FR
34829;
28 Whereas, the Section 111(d) rule
would not have any effect on global climate, and EPA
29 identifies no such effect in the
proposed rule;
30 Whereas, the proposed rule infringes
on the states' police powers and otherwise violates
31 federal law that has granted states
the authority to regulate intrastate activities regarding
32 electricity markets;
33 Whereas, the Section 111(d) rule
would dramatically reduce the efficient operation of
34 state and regional electricity
markets, reduce the reliability of the markets, and greatly
35 increase the cost of electricity to
consumers;
36 Whereas, states may desire to have
the United States Congress adopt into federal law
37 provisions of an interstate compact
that protect electricity consumers within the states
38 from being exposed to significant
rate increases due to the proposed rule without the
39 express authority of Congress or the
states' legislatures;
40 Whereas, states may desire to have
the United States Congress adopt into federal law
41 provisions of an interstate compact
that protect the sovereignty of the states and their
42 congressionally delegated authority
from being undermined by the Section 111(d) rule
43 without the express authority of
Congress or the states' legislatures.
44 NOW THEREFORE, the Member States
hereto resolve, and by the adoption into law
45 under their respective State
Constitutions of this Interstate Power Compact, agree, as
46 follows:
47 I. -DEFINITIONS
48 "State(s)" means the
several states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of
49 Columbia, and all U.S. territorial
possessions. Where contextually appropriate, the
16 LC 37 2091
S. B. 311
- 3 -
50 term shall be construed to include
all of its branches, departments, agencies, political
51 subdivisions, officers, and
representatives acting in their official capacity.
52 "Compact" means this
"Interstate Power Compact."
53 "Member State" means a
State that is a signatory to this Compact and has adopted it
54 under the laws of that State.
55 II. – STATE POWER COMPACT
56 A. PURPOSE
57 The purpose of this compact is to
protect Member States' sovereignty and the
58 assurances granted under the Tenth
Amendment. In accomplishing this, member
59 states shall work in isolation, or
with other Member States, to formulate plans for
60 restoring the primary responsibility
of States and local governments in the prevention
61 of air pollution and the control of
air pollution at its source, in accordance with 42
62 U.S.C. §7401(a)(3) of the federal
Clean Air Act. Member States agree that the Section
63 111(d) rule lacks a statutory and
constitutional foundation.
64 B. PLEDGE
65 No agency, political subdivision, or
official of any Member State will submit any
66 filing in partial or complete
fulfillment of the state plan requirements under EPA's
67 111(d) rule, unless the filing
involves emission limits or budgets derived only from
68 assumptions of what is technically
achievable inside the physical boundaries of the
69 electrical generating units using the
same fuel and boiler design that is currently in
70 place at those units consistent with
the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §7401 et. seq.
71 Upon Congressional assent to this
compact, the EPA shall be prohibited from
72 imposing any measures under a federal
plan with respect to a member state if such
73 state fails to file a fully
approvable state plan. Member States shall take joint and
74 separate action to secure the consent
of the United States Congress to this Compact.
75 C. AMENDMENTS
76 This compact may be amended by unanimous
agreement of the Member States
77 without prior consent or approval of
Congress.
16 LC 37 2091
S. B. 311
- 4 -
78 By consenting to this compact, the
United States Congress consents to any
79 amendment adopted under this compact
unless, within one year, Congress
80 disapproves that amendment.
81 In as much as it is probable that
regulation of air and water pollution may differ
82 between two or more states and Member
States that are party hereto, this compact
83 contains elements of a broad base common
to all states, and nothing herein shall
84 preclude any state entering into a
supplementary agreement in force between states.
85 Supplementary agreements may
comprehend but shall not be limited to, provisions
86 for the exchange of public utilities,
electricity, personnel, equipment and supplies.
87 III. – EFFECTIVENESS, WITHDRAWAL
AND DISSOLUTION
88 This Compact shall become effective
on the date when it has been adopted by two or
89 more Member States.
90 Any Member State may withdraw from
this Compact by enacting a statute repealing
91 the same, but no such withdrawal
shall take effect until thirty days after the Governor
92 of the withdrawing state has given
notice in writing of such withdrawal to the
93 Governors of all Member States. Such
action shall not relieve the withdrawing state
94 from obligations assumed hereunder
prior to the effective date of withdrawal.
95 This compact shall be dissolved upon
the withdrawal of all but one of the Member
96 States.
97 IV. – VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION AND
SEVERABILITY
98 This Compact shall be construed to
effectuate the purposes stated in Article II. If any
99 provision of this compact is declared
unconstitutional, or the applicability thereof to any
100 person or circumstances is held to
be invalid, the constitutionality of the remainder of
101 this Compact and the applicability
thereof to other persons and circumstances shall not
102 be affected. If any provision of
this Compact results in a requirement of congressional
103 consent, the remainder of this Compact
shall be effective as provided in Article III,
104 without the need for congressional
consent.
105 It is intended that the provisions
of this compact shall be reasonably and liberally
106 construed to effectuate the purposes
thereof. If any part or application of this compact,
107 or legislation enabling the compact,
is held invalid, the remainder of this Compact or
108 its application to other situations
or persons shall not be affected.
