Hundreds of EPA Workers Leave in Recent Days

6. The EPA losing it's most experienced people is very very bad!

The agency has been short staffed and budget starved for decades. Refineries and chemical plants have been under "self reporting" of leaks and releases already for years due to this problem.

Inspecting plants? What a joke! None of the agencies responsible (OSHA, EPA and state agencies like our TCEQ) have the man-power to do that and have not for years either. They only do it after explosions/fires.

TPTB have sought deregulation and total freedom from the agencies for years. Not content to have a political appointee over these agencies they want them to die. By "they" I mean people like the Kochs and Rex Tillersons of the world!

We must stop their ability to control our government and fight to get the money out of our politics! Publicly Funded Elections and a requirement of truth in the news. The propaganda must be stopped as well.
