PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A U.S. appeals court on Monday approved a federal plan to limit pollution in the Chesapeake Bay despite objections from farmers, builders and others who accused the Environmental Protection Agency of a power grab.

"The Chesapeake Bay (plan) will require sacrifice by many, but that is a consequence of the tremendous effort it will take to restore health to the Bay — to make it once again a part of our "land of living," Circuit Judge Thomas Ambro wrote, quoting American poet Robert Frost.

So the folks up north that pollute the most will suffer the least, while the folks further south that suffer the most from the degraded conditions will have their businesses ruined.....but it makes the 'green' groups happy!

Until we stop voting career politicians in this is what we'll get.
ReplyDelete3:47PM I agree and I also feel that the next president should be vetted every which way til Sunday. Any decent candidate would want to be prepared to answer a great deal of personal questions put to them by the voters. We don't want another mistake or rotten apple in the bucket!
