More criticism of WOTUS
More criticism of the way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has handled its proposed “Waters of the U.S.” rule.
Jackie McClaskey, secretary of agriculture for the state of Kansas, questions whether the EPA is listening to the ag community’s concerns.
“I think what’s been most frustrating is, as the agricultural voices have gotten louder and tried to provide more input in a very reasonable way, the approach we’ve gotten back from the feds is that, ‘well, you just don’t understand it’,” McClaskey says. “So there is really not an honest attempt to have a two-way communication—and that’s frustrating for us as we’re trying to represent agriculture in this discussion.”
McClaskey says the proposed rule is another example of federal overreach where, in her words “logic and common sense have gone out the window.”
