President Trump is seeking to slash the number of workers at the Environmental Protection Agency by at least half, leaving it significantly gutted as the administration mulls further cuts, the former head of Trump's EPA transition team said Friday.
"Let's aim for half and see how it works out, and then maybe we'll want to go further," Myron Ebell said now that he has returned to his position as director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Ebell left the Trump transition team a week ago.
Ebell told the Associated Press that Trump is likely to seek significant reductions in the agency's 15,000-person work force. Slashing half of the work force would leave 7,500 at the agency, which would dramatically reduce its capacity to move out regulations quickly.

The virtue of 2 cycle engines is they’re a lot lighter than 4 cycles, very important in lawn machines and small outboard motors where fuel economy isn’t all that impotant.

Even now, we’ve got posters whining about what Trump hasn’t done yet, when the only words from their mouths should be, “Thank you.”
As the operator of a privately-owned public water supply company for 30 years, I had to deal with the Ohio EPA constantly. Seeing their phone number on my beeper or cell phone instantly zoomed my blood pressure! They were impossible to deal with! I could tell you stories!
.... and for those remaining, .. at least a 75 percent pay cut. Also, no more benefits, healthcare etc., go to Obama-Care.
