We can be in touch soon but please let us know if you have any questions in the meantime and if you don't mind holding that morning, that would be great. Thank you!

AG Paxton respectfully requests a meeting with EPA Administrator Pruitt while he is in Washington DC, October 3 - 6. The topic of the meeting would be federal regulatory reform, an issue that impacts numerous cases that Texas is currently litigating. In May, AG Paxton led a 16-state coalition in calling on the Trump Administration to take action in accordance with two principles - restoring the role of Congress and ensuring impartial adjudications. AG Paxton would like to share his perspective on the proper scope of federal administration agencies as well as some ideas for practical reforms. As mentioned above, AG Paxton will be in Washington DC the first week in October and is available for a meeting on the following dates and times: Wednesday, 10/4, 10:00 - 11:00 am Thursday, 10/5, 10:00 - 11:00 am, and 2:00 - 3:00 pm Friday, 10/6, 10:00- 11:00 am Please let me know if any of these fits in the Administrator's schedule. If not, please feel free to propose a date/time that works best. Kind regards, Sarah Burgess 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
