    When It Comes To EPA Regulations, Roy Cooper More Extreme Than Former Senator Kay Hagan

    "When it comes to the EPA, Attorney General Cooper is further to the left than former Senator Kay Hagan. Even where Hagan sought distance from the Obama administration, Cooper has decided to stand in lock step with Barack Obama, and is almost giddy at the prospect of subjecting North Carolinians to federal regulations that would do little to improve air quality and increase families' utility bills by hundreds of dollars per year."     - Todd Poole, NCGOP Executive Director

    North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper Says NC Should Not Stand Up To The Obama Administration's Harmful EPA Regulations

(Mark Barrett, "Roy Cooper: NC should develop air plan instead of suing," Asheville Citizen-Times, 8/12/2015)

On Monday, the North Carolina Republican Party criticized Cooper for not joining in" (Craig Jarvis, "Cooper warns against opposing new EPA carbon rules," Raleigh News & Observer, 8/11/2015)

    BUT
