EPA To Republicans: Quit Making Shit Up

Des Moines Register:
The Environmental Protection Agency notified Congress on Monday that it would not regulate the dust kicked up by grain combines and other farm operations in the Midwest.
The agency said the notification should put “an end to the myth that the agency is planning to tighten” its regulations on that source of air pollution.
The farm dust issue has been a major theme in Republican claims that excessive environmental regulations are slowing the nation’s economy.
It amazes me how often farmers, Republicans and lobbyists, like Farm Bureau push this tired crap.  Call me when they actually start writing draft rules.
