As parts of Georgia still struggle with low supplies of gas, top lawmakers are asking the federal government for help. U.S. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency in support of Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue’s request for help. They want the government to temporarily extend relief from the federally enforceable sulfur gasoline requirements in the 45-county fuel control area. The requirements are for metro Atlanta and they are meant to reduce toxic emissions.
