Funny how the many scandals involving government waste and fraud are always termed "an isolated incident"

I'd agree but where is the oversight? There couldn't have been any.

The next question is why does the EPA have all this stuff in storage to begin with? New refrigerators still on the pallet 5 years old?

The audit they conducted, I guess, was their attempt at oversight. A late one for sure.

[as for the rest of your questions - I have no idea...]

Daer TSA,
I know you are reading this so can you look in that EPA building and see if there is a chest size freezer, I can really use one. You know my address and phone number hope to hear from you soon.
Peace.

Those are not EPA employees but the much talked about private company contractors, genius.
