The Trump Admin has effectively defanged the EPA but more needs to be done. The potential for absolute corruption is extremely high in the EPA. It needs watchdog oversight from groups who can keep it honest and stop it when it deviates from its assigned mission or oversteps. Better checks and balances.
Everyone wants clean air, water, and land but they want it without ideological bias. Facts; not bias and corruption.
I agree with your entire post 100%.
The problem is that the next democrat (or GOPe) president will re-fang the EPA.
