A Democratic congressman is seeking to strip the word "navigable" from the 1972 Clean Water Act to allow the Environmental Protection Agency to surpass the limits imposed by a 2001 Supreme Court ruling on the kinds of waterways the agency can regulate.

i had a drainage ditch that was deemed a wetland of special state (md) concern... and a 100 foot buffer that i was in non compliance with...
i asked if it was 50 feet on each side... and was told 100 ft on each side... i said it sounded like a 200 feet buffer...
this is out of hand.

The original was bad enough. Now they want to control every drop from your tap.
Honest to God, in any other nation these folks would be hog tied and hung from the nearest yard-arm.
This person should be on a November election focus alert. Kick his butt to the curb.
AKA “Jimmy Bikeshorts” here in MN.
(he loves pork for bike trails everywhere in MN)
So what of Minnesota’s delegation? The Pig’s Book searchable database on House members
(Senate will come later) shows the following:
http://www.cagw.org/reports/pig-book/2010/pork-database.html
District 1: Tim Walz (DFL)
13 earmarks worth $9.7 million
Lowlight: $200,000 for soybean genomics
District 2: John Kline (GOP)
NONE
District 3: Erik Paulsen (GOP)
9 earmarks worth $7.5 million
Lowlight: The fact that Paulsen would seek earmarks at all
District 4: Betty McCollum (DFL)
14 earmarks worth $8.7 million
Lowlight: $200,000 for a neighborhood development center
District 5: Keith Ellison (DFL)
18 earmarks worth $23 million
Lowlight: $150,000 to refurbish the Coe Mansion (whatever that is)
District 6: Michele Bachmann (GOP)
NONE
District 7: Collin Peterson (DFL)
10 earmarks worth $13.7 million
Lowlight: $550,000 for the Center for Rural Entrepreneurial Studies.
Aren’t entrepreneurs folks who create wealth WITHOUT government help?
District 8: Jimmy Bikeshorts Oberstar (DFL)
33 earmarks worth over $72 million
Lowlight: Oberstar’s blatant disregard for America’s future as evidenced by his relentless efforts to waste billions on his pet pork projects. This guy has no shame.
Wow! Return of the Pharmer Phil sign. Aw, memories.
He’s from the Iron Range.
It’s a safe socialist district in NE Minnesota.
It’s a safe socialist district in NE Minnesota.
That is truly a shame.
.
Power mad.
No need. I just need to put up signs that say "danger minefield."
Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes.....could there be a connection?!?
Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn -— what a complete turd.
This is possibly very, very evil, dangerous, and all-encompassing legislation.’
That barely describes this kind of language.
EPA in accountable to no one. They are not elected. They have been running roughshod over the American public for years.
In the Western parts of the country, there are a vast number of stock ‘watering ponds’ which are fed with rain water & snowmelt that flows down the watershed. Take a rancher with 5000 acres of cattle and he has these ponds all over his land.
Under this kind of ruling, he would have no control over the use of the rain or snowmelt and would be unable to raise the cattle that support his family and feed the world.
The EPA is imbedded with people who believe in Earth FIrst & Wildlands Project.
They are determined to destroy America’s ranches & farms.
If YOU have a rain barrel on your property that catches the rain from your gutter/downspout and use it for your garden, you would no longer be able to do so.
They also do NOT want any of us to raise our own veggies, etc.
If you try to put in a diversion to keep your driveway from washing out, you will be under the EPA for permission to do so.
The government will attempt to put meters on peoples wells and charge them for the water”
They are already attempting that here in Nevada-—and Dirty Harry Reid is behind it all.
He is trying to tie up all the water in N Nevada so the Southern Nevada Water Authority can buy the water for Las Vegas. He intends to turn N Nevada into a dust bowl.
The money grants to build all the bike trails & paths in Madison have created a big problem.
The grant money requires that all the pathways are kept maintained at all times.
Have you any idea how difficult it is to plow the snow from these surfaces in the winter? Streets are not plowed, but the bike paths get priority.

i asked if it was 50 feet on each side... and was told 100 ft on each side... i said it sounded like a 200 feet buffer...
this is out of hand.””””
Prove how little MATH anyone is learning in school.
This is scary that they think they should control all of the water. Is this how they will kill us off by not allowing us water?
Would you "journalists" please get your heads out of rectal deflade and use the correct words and spellings?
The House controls the purse strings....The GOP, once they regain control, should defund alot of this crap passed by the donkeys.

I swear that I think it is too late for (just) the election solution.
I hope you are wrong, but I’m not risking my wealth to bet against your take on it. ;-)

.... trust me. I understand. I raise plants with much rain water.
