2016 AFS Government Affairs Conference |

I was privileged to attend the 2016 AFS
Government Affairs Conference with the Texas delegation. Joining metal
casters from across the country and borders, we heard about AFS's
reaction to the OSHA Silica Rule and EPA's plans for Greenhouse Gas
Regulations for Power Plants and Ozone-Related Litigation. Taking these
critical issues to Capitol Hill for our elected officials to hear was
incumbent upon us.

U.S. representatives Kay Granger
(District 12) and Joe Barton (District 6) were very open to hearing
about the challenge before us. We met with them on two occasions to
emphasize our plight. Staff members for Senators Cornyn and Cruz were
aware of the over regulation of not only our industry, but also U.S.
industry in general. We left Washington knowing that the Texas
delegation had opened the eyes of our representatives and senators
regarding the regulatory barriers we are facing. |
