What took you so long, Brad?
Wisconsin has joined eight other
states in filing a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency
and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for what they claim unlawfully
expands the federal government's regulatory reach over local streams,
lands and farms. Attorney General Brad Schimel says the rule, known as
the 'Waters of the United States,' would extend the EPA and Corps of
Engineers' regulatory reach to an untold number of small bodies of
water, including roadside ditches and short-lived streams or any other
area where the agencies believe water may flow once every hundred years.
Schimel
says the rule could have dire consequences for homeowners, farmers and
other entities by forcing them to navigate a complex federal bureaucracy
and obtain costly permits in order to perform everyday tasks like
digging ditches, building fences or spraying fertilizers.
While you're at it, sue EPA for its ridiculous--and extremely costly--automobile emissions standards. If your car fails, you MUST spend up to EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE bucks to fix it before you can obtain a waiver.
Yah. Low-income folks have that laying around in the couch cushions, right?
