The Associated Press is reporting that lawmakers in Kentucky are threatening to declare the commonwealth a "Sanctuary state," placing it out of the reach of the Environmental Protection Agency. Republican Senator Brandon Smith, who chairs the Energy and Environment Committee, says environmental regulation is hurting Kentucky, and he's proposed legislation that would block the EPA from enforcing regulations in Kentucky. But the bill is unenforceable, and Smith says it's meant to send a message to President Barack Obama.
