IF done, it will be a solid win for freedom... and Trump. EPA moves to kill Waters of the U.S. ruleBy Ben Wolfgang, The Washington Times, Tuesday, June 27, 2017 The Trump administration Tuesday moved to rescind the controversial “Waters of the U.S.” rule, an Obama-era regulation that gave Washington broad powers over streams and other small bodies of water across the country. The rule, put forward in 2015 but subsequently stayed by the Supreme Court before going into effect, was one of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s top targets when he took the helm at the agency, and revoking it marks the latest step in an ongoing effort to roll back many of the previous administration’s environmental actions. President Trump earlier this year signed an executive order directing Mr. Pruitt to review the rule, and with Tuesday’s step, the EPA says it’s finalized that review and will strike the regulation from the books outright. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/27/epa-moves-kill-waters-us-rule/
