When the federal government doesn't act to curtail pollution, they are putting public health, and the economy, at risk.
There is a lot happening in Washington these days, so it wouldn't be a surprise if you missed the news that the House of Representatives has proposed legislation to cut the the budget of Lisa Jackson's (pictured above) Environmental Protection Agency by almost 20% and curtail its ability to tackle a wide range of pollution issues. The regulated industries and their allies in Congress may be hopeful of reduced cost and a less intrusive government, but they should be very careful of the law of unintended consequences. In this case, it is likely to lead to more cost and steep increases in complex paper pushing.
