——80,000 or so to go——

I don’t know the numbers at EPA, but for every employee at EPA there are I would guess 3 to 5 contractor employees. The contractors do the actual work. The contractors are being devastated.

Whole companies are at risk

“...dozens of regulations designed to protect the environment had been repealed...”

As much as I might want this to happen not sure these are typically have a phone and pen items. I would think actual “repeal” requires more than that and she is probably lying.

She then exited the building, where she got into her SUV and caught a ride on a corporate jet provided by her new employer to her vacation destination where she enjoyed her time boating and some barbecue, and managed to to some helicopter sightseeing...

A top Environmental Protection Agency official resigned Tuesday in protest of the direction the EPA has taken under President Trump.

Seeing as to how I never expected to see a single one left behind by now, best news I can think of, on the EPA front...

...and don't freakin' come back!

I happen to remember the original intent of the creation of the EPA. The only other guy who remembers also lives in California... on Zzyzx Road, a 4.5-mile-long (7.2 km), part paved and part dirt, rural collector road in the Mojave Desert. It runs from Interstate 15 generally south to the Zzyzx settlement.

Let me guess, she retired.
Let me finish your thought: She retired, and in a short while she'll be back as a consultant/contractor helping her friends still at the EPA block any reforms. All the while she'll be making big bucks paid for by our tax dollars.

30 years would put her "start" date in 1987--- solidly at the creation of Hillary's organizing of dozens interlocked groups of operatives infiltrating the Federal government at all levels, and 5 years before the First Rapist took over from GHW Bush, followed by Mr. Hillary, then George Dubya. followed by...
Gathering thousands of swamp dwellers the entire time.

The brilliant strategic plan was thwarted by incontinence... failure to prevent careless overreaching and greed, including hundreds of millions$ of taxpayer money stolen and laundered by her "Charitable, tax -free Clinton Criminal Enterprises.

The Swamp Draining has barely begun...

This woman must be indicted and protected under the Federal Witness Protection and drained dry. Pun intended.

Hell, developers would pave over Yellowstone if you let them. But, all Federal regulation must end with their much curtailed regulatory authority given back to the states. And, their SWAT teams disbanded!

If you were a developer then you were (are part of the problem if you preach that the EPA was created to prevent development. That is a State right and function.

The EPA was created to make sure that ginormous projects spanning more that one state did not overlook impacts that could be overlooked or deemed less important than the benefits accruing to humanity, which used to be the primary, most important criterion.

Sir, lol, I’m not “preaching” ANYTHING.

2nd, Nowhere did I state or even imply that “EPA was ‘created’ to PREVENT development.

I would love to respond to you more fully, I just don’t understand what you are trying to say, particularly since I didn’t say anything you state I said.
