How can we trust the government's redactions when we have examples of such unnecessary and, in many cases, inappropriate redactions?
I think--what I'm saying here, Mr. Chairman, if I may, is that you have a former EPA employee who, in testimony, sworn testimony, just in March, talked about what I consider a conspiratorial effort to avoid complying with Federal records.
I would also like to thank Congressman Hanna and Congresswoman Chu, who are cosponsors of that bill.
Do you believe that this April 15 letter was fully responsive to all of my questions?
You impeded the investigation of the Inspector General and you withheld documents. In my opinion, you obstructed justice.
The EPA is not only mismanaged, it is misguided and in these cases, apparently morally corrupt.
Yet, you have employees who have been sexually abusive of women and others engaging in activities that are sexually abusive of children and no one, no one was fired.
The EPA tries to regulate everything from greenhouse gases to ditch water to cattle flatulence but if someone makes the slightest mistake in their business or farm or their duties as a municipal officer, they are immediately descended upon…
I have been sitting here listening to the testimony. Frankly, I am absolutely astonished that either of you still have a job.

Second straight hearing where I have been misappropriated to the wrong State. My jurisdiction has expanded.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to introduce into the record a letter from the Governor of Alabama, the Honorable Robert Bentley.
Responses to questions for the record from Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) from CSB Board Member Manuel H Ehrlich, Jr
Do you realize that when you talk about supplementing your renewables with natural gas, you are admitting that renewables are not a legitimate or reliable source of energy?
From my perspective, it is the intention of the EPA, and I think this Administration, to eliminate fossil fuel, to shut down the coal industry.
I find it interesting that the EPA is implementing these rules and conducting themselves in a way that is more reflective of a police State than a regulatory agency.
EPA has been very aggressive in enforcement. It has gone from a regulatory agency to almost operating like a police State.
