EPA tells oversight cats to Kiss their Ass...

Secretive pricks forget who they work for... Jeeps wonders why?

Quote:
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Environmental Protection Agency advised employees last month not to answer questions from journalists, the Government Accountability Office or the agency's inspector general, according to an EPA e-mail made public Monday.


California Sen. Barbara Boxer has said the EPA is becoming a "secretive, dangerous ally of polluters."

"Please do not respond to questions or make any statements," the June 16 e-mail said, advising staff to direct questioners to senior staff members cleared to answer questions from outside the agency.

Robbi Farrell, chief of staff of the EPA's compliance assurance division, sent the e-mail to 11 managers in the department.

The e-mail was posted on a Web site of the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. The group, an alliance of state and federal environmental professionals, labeled the communication a "gag order."

"The order reinforces a growing bunker mentality within an EPA that is the subject of a growing number of probes into political interference with agency operations," the group said.

I suggest we eliminate the EPA then. After all, there was never a constitutional mandate to create it in the first place and if they refuse oversight, we will do just as well without them. Everyone will be happier.
