This Week on the Hill
On Wednesday, Senators Barbara Boxer, D-CA, and John Kerry, D-MA, are expected to release climate legislation, derived from H.R.2454, which was passed by the House in June. According to Senators Boxer and Kerry, the legislation will serve as a starting point for climate negotiations in the Senate. Hearings on the new legislation are expected in coming weeks. However, just today, a hearing on the climate change legislation, originally slated for this Thursday, Oct. 1 at 9:45 a.m. by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has been postponed because of this week’s markup of healthcare legislation in the Senate Finance Committee–a sign that healthcare is still the main focal point on Capitol Hill.
