Denham wants EPA out as he violates ethical standards

Rep. Jeff Denham (CD 19 Stanislaus,Fresno, Turlock, Madera, Sonora) spoke in the House on Sept. 23rd  urging the House to pass the Train Act and give the job of information gathering required in the Act to his friends in the House balcony. Republicans feel the EPA is a rogue agency and want to end the regulation of mercury, etc.
HOUSE’S TRAIN ACT THREATENS TO DERAIL CLEAN AIR | “The House is slated to vote this week on a proposal that mandates at least a years-long delay of two major air pollution rules and, senior Democrats say, badly weakens EPA’s ability to limit mercury and other air toxics from power plants,” E2 Wire writes. The White House has threatened a veto. Last night, the House Rules Committee set the rules for debate on the TRAIN Act (HR 2401), a “bill that mandates interagency economic analyses of EPA rules, and delays two rules on power plant emissions.” The White House has threatened a veto.


Paying for a huge study to report the effects of muecury, etc. is a huge waste of public money. WE MUST CUT UNNECESSARY COSTS AND WASTE - not continue the old wasteful ways of spending and increasing the deficit - especially when Denham stated on the House floor that he had a pecuniary, unethical interest which is related to his political campaign.
