Will EPA Ever Reopen?
From a Pollution Engineering article:

" Sen. Barbara Boxer believes that closure of the EPA permits companies to dump toxic wastes and otherwise treat the environment “like it’s your private ditch.”
“People do it every day of the week, and we stop it because we have cops on the beat,” Boxer said.
The California Democrat and chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee said EPA would remain shuttered indefinitely under the House GOP’s strategy of re-opening parts of the federal government.
“If you look at all their mini-bills, not one of them restored any funding for any agency that comes close to enforcing our environmental protection laws,” Boxer said."
Of course, GOP Reps Marsha Blackburn and Steve Stockman are cheering on the closure because now companies can pollute!
