The EPA goons thought this up as an excuse to take a paid vacay to AK and get a little fishing in. Bet on it.
Someone should dig deep and find out how long the members of this “team” where up there, how they got there and where they stayed, before and after their Chicken coup.
I’m agreeable with that comment. There’s probably only one such team in all of the EPA. You can figure it’s their one and only SWAT team....with at least $15,000 worth of gear for each member.
Yeah, they probably flew up on $4,000 ticket....carrying the gear with them. They needed to show some action, to write the report that would show the necessity of them being there for a week.
If you ask them....they will likely admit they went to only one mining claim....one simple show. And it’d be curious to have the trip report made public. Perhaps...some Senator would be bold enough to ask for that one trip report?
Final words....whoever hired this EPA SWAT team....needs to stand up in a congressional meeting and justify the cost to this. I’d say this is four-star cut material, and likely saves the organization at least two million a year on salary and operational cost.
Excellent point. A taxpayer-funded vacation with a little jackbooted thuggery to justify it.
Welcome to the USSA, comrades.
