"Probationary employees receiving the email have been working at the agency for less than a year. The emails began to go out on late Wednesday afternoon, according to an EPA union official.
The same message will be sent to other agency workforces, a White House official said. Across the US government, the latest data shows there are more than 220,000 employees on probation."

I credit the EPA and its innumerable piles of regulations with single-handedly crippling the American economy. Let the states handle their own environmental concerns and close the EPA forever.
Ah, but if it's one of their BIG projects, "they" get exceptions. Seen it happen many times: CA High Speed Rail for example.
This is exactly it.
Corporation with a chemical spill? No problem.
Farmer wanting to build a new shed? No way.
Genuine question. What happens with things that involve multiple states? For example the Columbia River is the border of Washington and Oregon. Would their be some sort of federal litigator is there was a dispute?
Don't know, but the states need to work it out between themselves. That's what the Constitution is for.
Yes. Interstate Compacts negotiated by two Governors. No need to involve the other 48 states.
Amen.
The epa exists (not exclusively) because Ohio was so corrupt and stupid they put so much shit in a river it literally caught on fire.
Think India levels of bad
The epa had a purpose, to not let every idiot just assume the environment was someone else’s problem
But they’ve long since stopped being that
That seems to be the defining nature of all government agencies. Mission creep gradually makes them lose sight of their original charter and reason for being; at which time they should either be closed or repurposed and reset with all new employees.
Apply the Chevron decision to neuter this agency, as well as the onerous CAFE requirements that have destroyed the auto industry.
Apply Chevron decision to ALL government agencies as they do NOT have legal authority to compel us to do anything they dictate. Only the legislature has that power. A regulation does not and should not carry the weight of a law.
Lets start with this one and ride the resulting synergy.
Yeah those rules are why trucks and suvs have gotten so comically huge in the last few years. Make cars reasonable size again!
Wipe the EPA's DNA with bleach to ensure that it never comes back!
Absolutely
Chevron
Oooo, that’s second in line satisfying to the IRS. Now do them. Ugh, I take that back after reading article. That’s only for employees working there less than a year. Doesn’t affect tenured employees. Just get on with it and dissolve the entire agency would ya.
Music to my ears
As Rush used to call it, " The Employment Prevention Agency".
I just hope fuctards don't celebrate by rollin coal in their gay dodge truck...
We do need SOME environmental protection... otherwise this will turn into china.
WOW how does it feel NOW that the shoe is in the other foot****"The shoe is on the other foot" is an idiom that means a situation has changed to the opposite of what it was before. It can also mean that the roles of people in a situation have been reversed.
One of the worst offenders of useless regulation and I've no sympathy for the dregs who enforce those unconstitutional destructive regulations and their being fired and the epa getting shut off.
Out out out!
Opbtained by... key words there.
