Republican lawmakers in the House are pushing legislation that would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from proposing new regulations based on science that is not transparent or not reproducible.
The Secret Science Reform Act, introduced Thursday by Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., would bar the agency from proposing or finalizing rules without first disclosing all "scientific and technical information" relied on to support its proposed action.
"Public policy should come from public data, not based on the whims of far-left environmental groups,” Schweikert said in a statement. “For far too long, the EPA has approved regulations that have placed a crippling financial burden on economic growth in this country with no public evidence to justify their actions.”

Now, make it retroactive to the creation of the EPA and you'll have something.
let's pray this passes. at least it's a beginning.
THE EPA is destroying California and the FOOD we get from them...
ginn - if they make it retroactive they'll have to abolish the EPA...probably your point!
With a record of cherry-picking statements and doing quite the poor job of actually reading/understanding scientific reports, I doubt any politicians really care what "the science" says.
Hallelujah!
