Gov. Mike Braun is preventing Indiana's environmental regulators from passing new, state-specific rules or considering "environmental justice" when issuing permits or grants. "I'm a conservative, an entrepreneurial one that's proud to be a conservationist, and that goes very deep in my love of land and nature in general," Braun said the morning of Wednesday, March 12. "(I) also want to make sure that my administration's environment environmental policy is straightforward, easy to understand, things important for conservatives to be responsible stewards of our environment." Braun said the orders would provide businesses and communities "regulatory certainty" when it comes to projects for businesses and farmers.
