My guess? Someone at the EPA wanted that property for themselves.
That’s what it sounds like to me, someone using their position in the EPA for a straight up land grab scam. Happens in the west often.
Or one of the next door neighbors had a friend at the EPA.
Or one of the neighbors had a friend at the EPA, and the neighbor wanted to keep the lot open without buying it.
“Someone at the EPA wanted that property for themselves.”
Nope, this was extortion, plain and simple. It’s the same MO the neo-Nazis at EPA did in Rapanos v US. And yes, the pigs at EPA are Nazis.
Back in 2004, after the USSC ruled against the EPA pigs in Rapanos, Congress had a chance to investigate these Nazi pigs and throw them in prison. I would’ve hanged these EPA pigs for treason. The fact that Congress refuses to rein in these Nazi dogs at EPA tells you all you need to know about the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington.
Congress may have another two years to clean out the Washington criminal syndicate. After that, it will be cleaned out by the states and citizens on their own terms. And it will get very bad and ugly for the criminals in DC.
