A resolution in the Michigan Senate sounds the alarm that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency could soon be meddling with how outdoor barbecue-loving Americans prepare their food. Senate Concurrent Resolution 14 expresses opposition to EPA efforts to acquire a study that could lead to regulations on outdoor grills and barbecues.
The EPA has commissioned a study intended, "To perform research and develop preventative technology that will reduce fine particulate emissions (PM2.5) from residential barbecues. This technology is intended to reduce air pollution as well as health hazards in Southern California, with potential for global application."
Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair, and Sen. Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, are joint sponsors of the resolution.
âWe want to prevent another absolutely absurd overreach by the EPA and keep them from getting into our backyards and shutting off our barbecues and grills,â Pavlov said.

EPA Now Preparing Rules to Regulate Particulate Matter in Forest Fires ...
There have been calls to do away with the EPA. I can think of now better way to congeal the idea in people’s minds than to tell them barbequing is bad and is outlawed. Only 428 days, 3 hours & 15 minutes until he’s gone!
Please note that the current configuration of âgummintâ could care less about your cold, dead hands.>>>>>>>>>>>>
Agreed.
But then if I have cold dead hands there will be many of the vegetarians of “gummint” who won’t have any hands left attached to their arms.
EPA must be disbanded, and all their Marxist lot kicked to the curb.
