Nobody wants them dumping mercury in the rivers or anything but 1 part per 10 billion crap needs to stop.
It’s now 50% on the yes side to 45% never.
Suspend? That wouldn’t do any good at all.
Cancel.
If you merely suspend the rules, no corporations in their right minds would start hiring, because they would know that the suspension could end at any time, and then they’d be screwed worse than ever.
Yes but we need to overwhelm it! Did anyone read the lefty comments at the bottom?
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
If it wasn’t for the environmental laws, how would the delta smelt be able to contribute their fair share of tax revenue?

No way! CA voted for Obama, they should follow his lead. We need MORE environmental regulations and MORE green jobs to save the CA economy!
Exactly.
I have been posting ths and writing my congress critters about the EPA for months.
But the Endangered Species Act also needs to go.
They have used this for everything from the smelts in CA to the polar bears in Alaska to bugs in other states.
The ESA has wrecked many industries and many jobs.

I suppose that isn’t a bad result for a Kali-fornia poll
Truely endangered critters can be protected without some massive federal beauracracy. In most cases the landowners are happy to do what they can to protect an endangered species as long as they don’t have the feds breathing down their necks.
I don’t like to use harsh pesticides in my yard. I don’t kill frogs, toads, snakes, turtles etc.
And why the hell to we protect invasive species like mute swans?
