Environmental Protection Agencies: Federal and State Versions Under Siege

Reducing Power and Lowering Standards of Environmental Oversight Is Fiscal Stupidity.

(LAGUNA BEACH) - They pitch the battle as environment vs. jobs, it is a phony argument using economic recovery through ecological laxity as the key to our nation’s fiscal woes.

California's Eco-Future: "Hasta la vista, baby!"

(LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.) - Our "no problemo" Governor’s most recent failure, lost in an avalanched multitudinous legion of many, is an admitted refusal to properly seat our Regional Water Quality Control Boards to their fullest compliment and potential.

(LAGUNA BEACH) - Guys, who wants to dawg paddle over to the shallow end of the Salem-News online pool for a while?

Tired of all of those intellectually demanding, complex articles, the ones which after you’ve read them and the mind-bending comments sections that follow, you only succeed in giving yourself a migraine-sized headache?

"Oh, Mr. Caltrans: Thank you sir, may I have another?" or "Christmas in November: Thank You Santa Caltrans!"
