Thank You For This Observation And Recognition Of EPA Excess!
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
As an agricultural policy person there are many times when my time is spent dealing with issues from a perspective that doesn’t register with those not involved in farming and ranching. Such has been the case in the on-going activities that we (nearly all agricultural interests) have been dealing with in regard to the attempts to rewrite the Clean Water Act.
This editorial in the Las Vegas Review Journal was a very welcome point of view, especially since it comes from a non-agricultural publication that “gets it”.
During the last Nevada Legislative session, a resolution from the Nevada legislature to Congress was sought, asking our national representatives to follow the Supreme Court ruling and not try to legislate around the road-block for further command and control sought by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Because of the partnerships between the party in charge of the legislative process and the anti-property right advocates, the request for the appropriate consideration was not advanced.
So far the only thing that has kept the ill-fated rewrite of the Clean Water Act from going forward has been the Congressional agenda for even greater destruction of our private sector – freedom and rights.
When you have a federal agency that can’t seem to find enough rights to trample or persons to harm for the sake of their unquenchable thirst for more control…business as usual just implies that they ought to be doing more, regardless of the court telling them that they are over the line.
