EPA Blames Sequester for Release of Personal Info on Farmers
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 13 Apr 2013 | John Semmens

Posted on 04/16/2013 9:02:14 AM PDT by John Semmens

Under criticism for handing over personal data on farmers and ranchers to environmental groups, the Environmental Protection Agency defended its actions as “cost-effective under current budget constraints.”

“Normally, we’d harry these despoilers of the environment ourselves,” said Bob Perciasepe, Acting EPA Administrator. “But with the budget being hemmed in by the sequester we have to seek other ways of achieving our objectives. We saw arming these environmental groups with potentially useful information as a way of multiplying or leveraging our forces. We thought we’d get more bang for the buck, so to speak.”

When reading a quote from a truthful government employee administering his personal fiefdom, I always check to see if John Semmens is the reporter.

Accurate satire, what'll you think of next?

As a result of the sequester, all freedom of information applications are temporarily being approved. Therefore, all 937,000 pages of Hussein’s sealed records have now been made available to the public.
