Eliminating the EPA should be the first thing on the “to do” list for President Walker.
Ready for this ...
My local Florida county is holding up (two weeks now) a building permit for a pv solar panel array — I have a septic tank 100 feet away and they won’t issue the permit.
“the proposal by the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would simply clarify the Clean Water Act of 1972 and the kinds of waterways that fall under the agency’s jurisdiction.”
Isn’t that Congress’ job?
plus a number of others
Don’t back down little pubbies.
It aint just puddles they want to control...it’s every drop of H2O in this country.
Water is life...and if you have to ask them, you know who controls your life.
You’re absolutely right. They regulate puddles now....and most of those puddles are simply from poor grading when a subdivision is/was developed.
Yup. It’s Congress’ job.
That’s the central issue - why do federal bureaucrats have the power to issue rules that have the force of law?
Nowhere in our Constitution do we find such authority for them.
Madison and Jefferson would be appalled.
GOP could shut-down the EPA, but they don’t want to.
Government exists to pay an upper middle income to people who would be otherwise, unemployable.
“We don’t want to regulate a puddle,” she continued. “That’s ridiculous.”
LIAR.
It doesn’t even have to be a puddle: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/idaho-couple-challenges-power-epa-say-they-cant-build-home-their-own-land
what does a panel array have to do with a septic tank?
Nothing. But its all on the same parcel and our beloved govt and EPA wants to stop or slow ALL progress.
Slam, Bam, Bam....words words words! Stop with the rhetoric and Start getting rid of this madness!! DO SOMETHING BESIDES TALK! How much more so we have to take from this bunch of jerks?
Well, now that you ask -
FDR wanted to assign regulatory authority to unelected staffers.
The supreme court said, “Oh, heck no.”
FDR said, ok, I will start appointing judges (expanding the court), until I have a majority that allows me to break the law, pretty much as I wish.
And the USSC immediately reversed itself, and said, hey, no problem.
The day the music died.
WTF is their rationale?
