Report Calls On Sessions To End EPA’s $1.5 Billion Slush Fund
Daily Caller ^ | Aug 8, 2017 | Tim Pearce

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a practice in recent years that allows the agency to “create its own de facto power of the purse,” according to a report from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) released Tuesday.

The EPA and Department of Justice (DOJ) force private companies and individuals to fund policies and initiatives that the agencies and president support but that Congress has not weighed-in on, or may even have voted against in the past.

Well, seeing how Sessions supports robbery by highwaymen law enforcement, why would he give up these other proceeds of ill-gotten gain?

Or, they could use the money to pay those damaged by the EPAs INTENTIONAL Gold King mine disaster in Colorado 2 years ago.

Why wasn’t this done on the 1st or 2nd day that he was AG?

Oh, yeah, we’re dealing with government, which moves in slow motion on everything worthwhile, and Jeff Sessions, who appears to never be in a hurry for anything (though, to be fair, I’ve never seen him when he really has to pee - maybe he moves like an Olympic sprinter then).

How about a little clawback on these illegally extorted monies?

The non-governmental organizations that got them should be compelled to return them in full to the US Treasury.

We need to seriously curtail the EPA....say like down to 3 people, 1 phone, 1 building and $5mm budget MAX.

Our stupid, liberal HOA has bought into the corps of engineers and EPA "bank mitigation credit" crap. They spent $17,000.00 on a consultant, and he says the job of fixing our creek beds and turn them into carbon credits bank mitigation credits will cost $150,000.00.......

and our stupid board bought into the tripe form the consultant that the credits would be worth MILLIONS of dollars.

Bullshit....its just to grease the hands of an environmental firm to create a fake security.

We need to end the EPA once & for all.

It never should have been started.
