Did ACCCE Chief Lie To Congress?

Steve Miller of ACCCE just told the Markey committee that his firm never opposed the Waxman-Markey climate change legislation.

But look at this Greenwire story, via the New York Times, from last month … and especially this “clarification.”

Clarification: This story was changed to state that ACCCE opposed Waxman-Markey. An ACCCE spokeswoman in an interview Wednesday said that ACCCE was not opposed to Waxman-Markey but later in the day said that was an error and ACCCE at the time of the vote opposed the bill.

So clearly there’s been confusion about this before. But it looks like Miller just said something that’s flatly not true.
