Isn't the EPA one of the departments that should be done away with, just like the Department of Education?
I am all for clean water and air, but the EPA leviathan has grown too large to keep feeding.
Is there is federal agency (or the non-federal fed) that shouldn't be shattered into a thousand pieces and scattered to the winds? Perhaps this is the first step.
I mean, you may want someone at least monitoring your pollutants until your communities can develop a more sustainable practice. I would say federal agencies like the EPA need to be replaced before they are shattered. ie. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
There was some court case that made it much harder for individuals to sue corporations for pollution. Until then a judge / jury would make the decision based on the facts and if the pollution crossed the property lines.. Once that power was taken away it became replaced with regulations. Find the court case that changed that. Overturn it. Fix the problem don’t just apply a better bandage.
