I stumbled across this the other day. I find it mind-boggling that we are going under as a nation and we are still funding idiocy such as this (upon reflection that thought extends to the entire E.P.A.). Not that I wish that anybody live in unhealthy circumstances but this just stinks of governmental pork being thrown to politically aligned groups. Here is the money-shot (pun intended);
"EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson has made environmental justice a priority at the agency, issuing millions of dollars to local and tribal organizations and making plans to reach their aforementioned end"
Not controlling pollution, not keeping that dreaded carbon under control, not holding polluters feet to the fire, the main mission is "environmental justice"! And, silly me, I thought that "Justice" was under the purview of the Justice Department and the writ of the E.P.A. ran to protecting the environment. I am so confused.....
Heck, if they would just do the job of keeping pollution to a minimum they wouldn't have to worry about “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” because the problem would be mitigated in the first place and the boondoggle of passing money out to noisy special interest groups could be entirely by-passed.
But that isn't what this Administration is about.
