What Regulators Really Need: A Constitutional Diet
Item: A new analysis of Environmental Protection Agency data, according to the Washington Post for January 24, 2019, reveals “that civil penalties for polluters dropped dramatically during the first two years of President Trump’s administration.” This analysis was made, as the Post acknowledged later in the story, by the woman “who headed EPA’s enforcement office under Obama.”
“EPA watchers within the federal government” are said to be “concerned” that there is less attention being paid to levying charges or imposing fines by the Trump EPA.
Item: A “special report” in the “liberal” establishment New York Times for December 27, 2018, taking up a complete section of 12 pages of the paper, blasted in large, bold type how “President Trump’s retreat on the environment is unfolding in extraordinary consequential ways for the health and safety of Americans.” In “just two years, Mr. Trump has unleashed a regulatory rollback, lobbied for and cheered on by industry, with little parallel in the past century.”
