Arizona will join California in suing the EPA for its intransigence: Ariz., joining Calif. suit, seeks to limit vehicle CO2 emissions --Governor could impose standards on cars sold here by Howard Fischer

In fact, it was the failure of the EPA to even respond to California's request for a waiver that led to the decision Thursday by Gov. Arnold Schwar- zenegger to sue. Goddard said it makes sense for Arizona to join in that effort.

"It's important to point out this isn't just a California problem," he said.

"The EPA's failure to act on California's waiver request affects Arizona motorists," Goddard continued. "And it affects the air quality in our state as well because we've adopted the same standards that California seeks to adopt."
