Washington, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mike Lee (R-UT) released statements after the Tax Foundation’s report on 2018 tax return data showed the positive impact the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC) had for millions of American families. Their efforts secured a provision in the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017 that doubled the CTC from $1,000 to $2,000, expanded eligibility, and increased the refundability of the CTC from $1,100 to $1,400. The data from 2018 tax returns makes it clear the benefits of this effort. The number of people who received the CTC doubled, benefiting American families in every income bracket, with the exception of top income earners.

In 1970, Congress passed the Clean Air Act Extension, directing the newly formed Environmental Protection Agency to develop national standards for six airborne pollutants, including carbon monoxide, fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. Under these National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the EPA monitors levels for each of the six pollutants named above, usually on a county-by-county basis, although the EPA can also combine counties into larger areas. The EPA must use “the latest scientific knowledge” to set the standards so that the public welfare, economic value, and personal comfort are protected.
