That's ok. Texas is a job creating utopia, right? There are 3900 brand new jobs waiting on those folks as soon as they leave work today.

EPA was one of the more critical reasons to NOT vote for 0bama.

EPA should be dismantled and used as sewage treatment.

It may not be doing what they were doing, but - yes, they will have jobs waiting for them (if they are willing and hired). It is a myth that only minimum wage jobs are being created in Texas. They consistently rank in the top 3 states for higher income growth.

Texas may be the first but won't be the last. They can't affordably meet the new strict EPA guidelines on new power plants.

And if you follow the dots..the connection goes back to Fenton Communications.
Fenton Communications is not the poster child for liberal social issues..they design and distribute those posters.
