I see your point and agree. The EPA tries to intimidate and financially break people into submission.

The EPA employees and lawyers behave as if they have unlimited resources. One thing I believe they’re doing is making sure they’re spending so their budget doesn’t get cut. This so often happens in government .... spend or your budget will get cut.

To do this to innocent families is pure evil.

Each of the EPA officials need to be sued civilly for overstepping and harassment. These people need to have some limits set.

Unfortunately, they had to sell off most of their livestock for environmental studies. The EPA are bullies.

Not many of us can afford several hundred thousand dollars in lawyer fees to fight the government...

That's why a few hundred dollars in weapons are needed.

Trump says the first Federal Agency to go in the trash can is the DOE.

Department of Energy? or Department of Education?
How about both!

We had a crazy case here in Upstate. There was a large stock pond on the property. It had been there for years. DEC said it was a wetland...Insanity ensued. The property owner won in the end.

Another case...DEC said it was a wetland. I listened to the threast as I sat at the table. The owner showed them 100 year old pictures of the property with buildings and a peach orchard. The owner won.

Chantell and Michael Sackett received a local permit to build a modest three-bedroom home on a half-acre lot in an existing, partially built-out residential subdivision in Priest Lake, Idaho.

The home poses no threat to water quality but federal EPA regulators nonetheless declared their property to contain a wetland and demanded they stop all work and restore the lot to its natural condition or pay fines of up to $75,000 per day. When they sued to challenge this order, EPA asserted they had no right to judicial review. The district court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, and tossed their lawsuit out of court. The United States Supreme Court unanimously reversed, ruling that failure to allow the lawsuit violated the Sacketts’ constitutional due process rights.
