GOP introduces legislation to tie hands of EPA

"A series of new bills introduced this week in the Senate seek to limit the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory reach and would subject the agency to penalties for missing reporting deadlines.

Offered by Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), the legislation reflects the latest in a series of Republican attempts to rein in an EPA that GOP lawmakers say has run amok and must be held accountable.

Johanns took to the Senate floor Wednesday, saying the people of his home state are fed up with the EPA’s actions during the Obama administration."

"That's the thing about the neocon smoke-and-lie machine. It's relentless. It just never lets up. Not even at Christmas."

Nothing thwarts them, not the talk about immigration and changing demographics, not the rural-vs-urban divide, not the "social media" revolution, not the cautions against coarse & crazy attacks on women.

Nothing.
