Washington, D.C.- Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement after the Obama administration released its final WOTUS Rule:
"The WOTUS rule released today is just further proof that the Obama administration has little regard for rural America-both as an important sector of the economy and as responsible stewards of the environment. These unprecedented new regulations will have a devastating impact on Arkansas. They further establish the EPA's ability to regulate farmland, effectively tying farmer's hands on everything from when to plant, how often they can run a tractor, and regulating mud puddles on their farms.
"This new rule is a prime example of government overreach at its very worst. I am committed to stopping these regulations in their tracks and protecting Arkansans from President Obama's continued attacks on farmers."
