"EPA should be abolished."

I disagree. It needs to be reigned in not abolished.

The EPA has done some good things. I remember when lakes weren't safe to swim in and fish had toxins. Even Kentucky's lakes to my north have too much natural radioactive substances in them, and I know that thanks to EPA monitoring.

The brown haze in Nashville in the summer is considerably better than it used to be. Air quality monitoring and clean up actions have helped a lot of people.

But clearly there have been abuses. The administrative court system that was set up is too biased and is not a fair arbiter of complaints. And the ability to apply fines without due process in a guilty until proven innocent system is not acceptable.

I don't have a comprehensive list of the abuses or how to fix it, but I'm certain it can be done, while retaining the useful and necessary functions.
