[Mr. H.]

Much as I despise the EPA, I don't see any problem with this practice.
It's a monitoring and enforcement tool.

The EPA sued St. Louis sewer district causing the average monthly sewer bill to go up 700%. Now millions will take a huge monthly hit to their budget.

The Clean Water Act for one.

The EPA, USDA, FDA & Monsanto have been spying on & suing farmers for over 30 years. Yes it sucks.

Industrial and agricultural compliance, for one.
The EPA piles regulations upon regulations because of chronic non-compliance.
