Noem, Thune oppose any climate legislation that increases federal revenue
As climate issues kind of, sort of eke their way back into the national focus, it’s worth remembering that Sen. John Thune and Rep. Kristi Noem both have signed an Americans for Prosperity pledge (PDFs: Noem, Thune) to “oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue.”
The pledges were signed in 2009 and 2010, so I’ve got messages into spokespeople for both pols to see if they’re still good.
Update: Thune spokeswoman Andi Fouberg and Noem spokeswoman Andrea McCarthy: “Yes.”
