Nearly every executive department needs to be converted into advisors to the senators and representatives. 3 for each. This allows for vacations, off regular hours work, big jobs. They are only there to help write, review and explain law and proposed law. No more regulations. Federal marshals do the enforcement for federal laws. IRS and EPA agents should not be arresting.
Trump is a hyperbolic guy, but truly much of what the EPA has been doing needs to be subsumed at a state level. That keeps the associated politics closer to the people affected. EPA can still watch over trans-state affairs.
There should be one guy left (or gal).
Their sole purpose would be to turn the lights off.
Maybe if the EPA had not enormously overstepped their bounds some years ago.....much of this change would not have been necessary. It seemed to me that they had gotten to the point where they were trying to dictate how we had to live. No gov’t. agency needs to be doing that.
‘She had been with the agency 33 years”, and hadn’t accomplished anything meaningful during that time...
3 miles up a pond with a substantial land mass not far from the entrance of my pond and I am Ar 13?? PUHLEEZE1
“I felt it was time to leave given the irresponsible, ongoing diminishment of agency resources, which has recklessly endangered our ability to execute our responsibilities as public servants,” Ann Williamson, an EPA scientist based out of Seattle told the Post. She had been with the agency for 33 years.”
33 years will get her a 100k/per year retirement,plus Cadillac health insurance, she’s probably under 60 years old.
“public servant” my ass.
Ann Williamson leaves little doubt as to her politics!
EPA needs to have it’s name changed and be reduced to about 1,000 employees and with a complete re write of it’s mission. They should have NO enforcement arm.
The 1,000 EPA folks become coordinator’s of policy amongst the 50 states with very limited powers. With direct access to the National Legislature and the Prez that’s enough power for them.
Dem’s and Libs want to blame somebody for losing their precious EPA blame Obama and Hillary for electing Trump and 1,000 other political officials nationwide.
The EPA should’ve been shut down after they poisoned the Animas River.
Please, President Trump, overhaul Bureau of Land Management. I beg you.
Good riddance to the commie broad.I know she gets her retirement.i hope she chokes on it.

If the incompetent people leave the EPA, it will hopefully become a more saner, science-based organization. Some of their policies and “findings” are ridiculous. I should know. I’ve had to deal with them.
Good, grounded science can bring good results. Political/ideological “facts” do not.
