Partner LeAnn Johnson Koch was one of four chosen to testify at the Senate Hearing on the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard Program covered by C-Span.

LeAnn, partner with the law firm Perkins Coie, which represents small refineries, warned in her testimony that the U.S. "should expect to see noncompliance, shutdown, and closure of small refineries adding to the already crippling gas prices," if EPA moves ahead with SRE proposal.

"If EPA persists, ignoring its statutory duty and deliberately taking aim at America's small refineries through a mass adjudication and denial of four years of small refinery hardship petitions, it will not only violate the law, but it will also exacerbate the already adverse economic conditions that our country faces," LeAnn said.
