MICHIGAN SUES THE EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency, which under the Bush government protects business before it protects the environment (this is a matter of public policy for the Bush government, not just a hysterical claim from some Democrats), has made an edict that allows some cement companies to emit illegal levels of mercury pollution. Ah, can it be illegal you ask, if the EPA has set the standards? Oh yes, the EPA often acts counter to the law.

Now Michigan is suing the bastards. Along with Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,Connecticut,and Delaware, our state has filed suit against the EPA. The EPA rules set stricter standards for new operations than for old ones, and this is contrary to the Environment Protection Act, say the plaintiffs. All the mercury pollution should be curbed.
