DIEGO — Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin’s trip Tuesday to this scenic family-friendly coastal tourist destination was all business and at times quite unpleasant, considering the noxious fumes he was there to discuss.
Zeldin visited this border city on Earth Day to try to put an end to a decades-long environmental catastrophe: Billions of gallons of sewage and industrial chemicals from Mexico have flowed into the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, closing local beaches and sickening U.S. Navy SEALs who train in the water on nearby beaches.

“Zeldin Demands Mexico Act on Cross-Border Sewage”
I’d rather he address the waste and other garbage coming in from the ocean, via Mexico.
Zeldin has been a good hire so far.
This is unacceptable and is part of the overall border problem
“”””So where is the worthless California Coastal Commission.””””
I lived in a shack on the beach for many years because the owners (3 different ones during my years there) could not get past the Coastal Commission to build their dream homes.
Before I moved there one owner had poured cement on the bluff to save his lot and was fined $10,000 in 1980s money, but it worked and the erosion was stopped, in the 2000s a new owner spent more than a $100,000 and hired a specialized company to get through the permit process to build, and he eventually tore down my shack and built his $3,000,000 house, lucky for him a conservative was living in the shack or it could have turned into an historical registry mess, not to mention whatever laws about tenants could have been thrown up.
Even the super rich are frustrated with the Coastal Commission, and this sewage problem has been going on for at least 50 years and as the article says, congress has spent almost $700,000,000 in just the last five years on it, and remember Mayor Brian Bilbray (later Congressman) of venereal beach?
So where is the worthless California Coastal Commission.

Vacationing on an all expense paid trip to Mexico?
Yes, but that vacation is in Cabo. Where the beaches are actually clean. The water comes from a desalinization plant and the Tijuana cartel own all the hotels so that they can launder their proceeds from “other” operations.
