    The Environmental Destruction Agency

    By Mark Schauss | March 12, 2008

    The US EPA, which once stood for the Environmental Protection Agency, is an outright sham today due to its director Stephen Johnson. He has done what he could to demoralize the staff, disregards law, science and the rules of the agency and forgets what it is his agency was mandated by Congress to do which is to protect the environment. He answers to only one rule and that is protect business first the environment last.

    Not only did he refuse to give a waiver to the State of California to regulate auto exhaust, despite the protestations and begging of his own staff, he ignored the EPA’s official Principles of Scientific Integrity citing “fluoride drinking water standards, organophophosphate pesticide registration, control of mercury emissions from power plants”. Sadly, it is unlikely that Stephen Johnson will resign and will continue with the administrations policy of environmental decay. We can only hope that the damage he does can be undone.
