Sen. Roger Wicker wants science-based ‘green’ programs

Wicker made the comments while visiting J.T. Shannon Lumber Co. and its subsidiary, Shamrock Plank Flooring, in Horn Lake.
Company officials say the business is in a growth mode now, but the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards, commonly known as LEED, is a sore subject for them.
