Ben Chandler writes letter to EPA, tells them to get off our backs

Remember that old saying by Democrats in the KY 6th that goes something like “yeah, he may disappoint us a lot, but at least he’s really good on the environment”. Well, if this, this, this and this aren’t enough for you, try this on for size:

U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Member Jeff Landry (Republican, LA-03) and 169 fellow Members of Congress have written to the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency, in opposition to the agencies’ attempt to evade the proper regulatory process in order to dramatically expand the Clean Water Act. This letter follows the Corps and EPA sending the “Clean Water Protection Guidance” to the Office of Management and Budget for regulatory review.

“The President and his unelected bureaucrats are once again attempting to change the rules as the game is being played to ram their radical agenda down the throats of the American people,” said Landry. “By the Corps and EPA’ own admission, their ‘Guidance’ will substantively change federal policy and significantly increase the scope of the federal government’s reach to regulate waters.”

“I was elected to shrink the government and make it more efficient,” continued Landry. “My letter today calls for the President and his Administration to end their de facto ‘land grab,’ through the Clean Water Act. My fight for our farmers and job-creators will continue until the Corps and EPA work with our local elected officials and business leaders to ensure proper, transparent and effective rule-making.”

Yes, Ben Chandler signed the letter.

Get off our backs, Nobama!
