Rep. Sam Johnson: EPA "too big for it's britches"


On a brighter note, this fool/my area's Rep, is finally RETIRING after 20+ years.


http://starlocalmedia.com/planocourier/congressman-johnson-returns-with-bill-to-reduce-wasteful-spending/article_c7775378-f3e1-11e6-95d3-a777a045a9be.html

Johnson’s bill calls to eliminate federal funding for 13 EPA programs, close all EPA field offices and require the EPA to lease and sell all underutilized properties. The proposed bill could save taxpayers about $7.5 billion over 10 years.

Johnson said via email, “The EPA is an agency that has grown too big for its britches. At a time when our debt is nearing $20 trillion, it is absolutely essential that we do all we can to stop waste, fraud and abuse. “
