Yet Another Unfunded EPA Mandate
The latest move to reduce the allowable smog limits is yet another unfunded mandate from the EPA. States and localities can’t come into compliance with the existing levels, but we’re to believe that they’re going to come up with the money to make the still lower levels work?
Who are they kidding? It’s going to mean higher costs and taxes.
And Lisa Jackson should know all about this - as head of the NJ DEP, she couldn’t get NJ into compliance with the Bush era levels, so there’s little chance NJ will get into compliance with the new lower ones.
