Parson pleased WOTUS repealed

Missouri Governor Mike Parson says he’s pleased the EPA and Corps of Engineers have officially repealed the Waters of the U.S. rule.

“They should have done that a long time ago. You know, but I know the bureaucracy works but look – the federal government doesn’t need to be regulating our ponds in our farms or a mud puddle.”

Parson says that’s the extreme result that happens when government tries to take over, “And these are decisions that are being made by a lot of people that’s never stepped foot on a farm and that’s what’s sad about the whole process.”

Brownfield interviewed Governor Parson, who is also a cattle farmer, at the Means Family Farm in Fulton.
