Rep. Jim Gooch, chair of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee didn't take 
long to bring his particular brand of advocacy to this General Assembly.
According to a report in the Courier Journal, he and two GOP co-sponsors have introduced a resolution that will deny cities and counties the power to limit carbon dioxide emissions.
We are pretty sure that the fact Gooch is connected to the coal industry had nothing to do with this. We are even more sure that the chances of Gooch being reined in by leadership are absolutely nil. Not when this House leadership is in agreement with him.
