Say a gas line breaks up river from your drinking water source. instead of the EPA releasing info on how much got into your water source, how long it will take to remediate, etc. The "reviewers" say that it isn't a big deal. No need to cause panic. So they don't release it, and you never know anything about the whole situation.

I have liked Trump's moves so far, but without the whole story this seems bad.


Independent scientists can test and comment.

The EPA is a political entity controlled by the President. They have no "right" to do whatever they want.

They aren't independent. They work for someone, and that person is the President.

They are bound by much more than the sitting president.

sure.

But who pays for that? Local gov create a new 6 figure position and purchase the required equipment? or private company that may not have credentials to analyze certain situations or take a month to mobilize?

With all that money they're not going to have because grants have been halted?
