Carter, Sr. (D-LA) released the following statement:\n\n\u201cAs the U.S. Congressman from Louisiana\u2014where most of these petrochemical facilities are located\u2014I find it appalling that this administration shows so little regard for the health of communities, families, and workers living near these plants.\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that industry and communities can coexist\u2014but only when the safety and well-being of people come first. No one should have to risk their life or health for a job. Every person deserves clean air and safe water.\n\n\u201cGranting twelve petrochemical companies in Louisiana a two-year exemption from a 2024 rule that aimed to reduce pollution and cancer risk is reckless. That rule was designed to lower emissions of toxic chemicals like ethylene oxide and chloroprene by over 6,200 tons a year and reduce cancer risk by up to 96% for nearby communities.\n\n\u201cPolluters and violators should not get a free pass. We can protect jobs and protect people\u2014but profits should never come at the cost of public health. I am committed to holding these companies\u2014and this administration\u2014accountable.\u201d\n\nYou can read the full report here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-troy-carter-statement-trump-exemptions-hon-rule-allowing-louisiana"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8080131374299526, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
