Speakers focus on life after the EPA's Clean Power Plan
 Stephen Hayes |
The keynote speaker will be Stephen Hayes, one of the leading political analysts in Washington, D.C., and a member of the "Fox News All-Stars" on Special Report with Bret Baier. Hayes is a senior writer at the Weekly Standard, and has written extensively about national politics and the current political leadership.
In his presentation, he will analyze the President's fractured relationship with Congress and the long-term impact of President Obama's regulatory agenda on America's energy landscape – along with the critical role of oversight provided by the judicial branch of the federal government.
Another speaker with Washington, D.C., ties is Greg Casey, former president of the Business-Industry Political Action Committee. BIPAC is a leader in helping employers, trade associations and others engage their employees in the political process, which leads to more economic-minded voters turning out to vote in elections. Casey retired this summer.
