The phrase “no good deed goes unpunished” applies to California.
California is trying to reduce carbon emissions by making energy from coal-fired power plants more expensive, but the Utah Legislature set aside $1.65 million to sue California over its fee on power from coal-fired plants.
California wanted to ensure the humane treatment of farm animals and passed a law that states, “Eggs sold in California must be from hens that have space to lie down, stand up, turn around and fully extend their wings.” On behalf of egg farmers, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is suing California over this law.
It’s too bad that California is being sued for trying to help farm animals and the environment.
