Obama Regime Attempting Government Takeover Of Water
It would be hard to make stuff like this up, but Republican Senators are introducing legislation to stop Barack Obama's EPA from effectively taking over all privately owned water.
(CanadaFreePress.com) Today, U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Dean Heller (R-NV) and 26 other Senators introduced legislation to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from taking over all private water in the United States. The “Preserve the Waters of the U.S. Act” prevents the EPA and the Army Corp of Engineers (Corps) from using their overreaching “guidance” to change legal responsibilities under the Clean Water Act (CWA).
“President Obama’s EPA continues to act as if it is above the law. It is using this overreaching guidance to pre-empt state and local governments, farmers and ranchers, small business owners and homeowners from making local land and water use decisions,” said Barrasso. “Our bill will stop this unprecedented Washington power grab and restore Americans’ property rights. It’s time to get EPA lawyers out of Americans’ backyards.”
“As Americans struggle in this anemic economy, the Administration continues to stifle job creation at every turn. Expanding EPA’s authority and threatening personal property rights will only discourage the economic growth we need for long term job creation. It is past time to cut through the red tape, and tear down the barriers to get the American people back to work. I look forward to working with my colleagues to get this bill passed,” said Heller.
