On the GOP? What did Obama do about it? Clinton? Democrat governors? What did any of them do for 47 years?
You'll get no answer. Certain people on here are pathologically dishonest.

In short, please seek help.
And here you are typing on a device which required chemicals that are carcinogens and heavy metals to produce.

"I abhor toxic chemicals, well unless I need them. At that point, they're ok."

WRONG. These rules are being changed by TRUMP. Trump's EPA is making these changes.

This has received very little news coverage and it is a classic example of why Trump wants his supporters to believe his "fake news" outcries. Trump does not want his supporters to know what he's doing and like the sheep they are, it works.

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to weaken rules that for the past quarter-century have given communities a voice in deciding how much pollution may legally be released by nearby power plants and factories.

The changes would eliminate the ability of individuals or community advocates to appeal against E.P.A.-issued pollution permits before a panel of agency judges. However, the industrial permit-holders could still appeal to the panel, known as the Environmental Appeals Board, to allow them to increase their pollution.

The only positive out of all this is this will mostly effect Trump voter locations so one could say "they voted for that".

I'm suddenly reminded of the "kids in cages" photos from 2015 being blamed on Trump.

Nuances matter. Note the article says environmental standards tend to get stricter under Dems and looser under the GOP.

Since I have a family member who is a high placed attorney in such matters, I can confirm this as 100% truth.

Many of you seem to think "unless one is perfect they have NO RIGHT to fight for better". That's a silly way of looking at the world and society. We are all on a journey and direction matters.

Bull, many of these people have been dead from cancer long before Trump took office. They have probably been dumping that chemical for years and you're gonna blame Trump, what a joke. From the article--- For more than 30 years, it has been known to many of its residents as “Cancer Alley”

the EPA actually came together under Nixon and there was time when both partys cared about the environment...


there are thread on this forum asking how divided the country is welllll?!?


its really a stretch for me to think that Nixon with his 1950s domino theory/Vietnam war hysteria is more "humane" than current conservatives but there you have it...40 years of BS about ALL things government BAD leads us to right here
