Bill Posey: “My amendment would reduce the EPA environmental programs and management account for the Office of Air and Radiation by…”

“My amendment would reduce the EPA environmental programs and management account for the Office of Air and Radiation by 50 percent. This office has destroyed an entire industry already and is currently working hard to bankrupt a family-owned business in my district. The EPA's OAR used the regulatory process to destroy the glider truck industry in favor of a Chinese-owned trucking industry. Many of these glider trucks are operated by small mom-and-pop businesses. Now, the same EPA is targeting a family-owned business in my district that supplies the only domestically manufactured outboard motors preferred by the U.S. Navy SEALs and other Special Operations Forces, including those of our allies. They are putting their Green New Deal agenda ahead of our national security and the safety of our men and women on the front lines protecting our freedom. {time} 2350 My amendment reduces the number of unelected, unaccountable, and unrecallable bureaucrats from vetoing the U.S. Navy SEAL military equipment they direly need, and I ask my colleagues to support me in joining this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Rose).”
