Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan requested $375 million and 265 new full-time employees to promote “environmental justice” in his Wednesday testimony to the Senate Committee on Environmental and Public Works while defending the agency’s budget.

The EPA established the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights (EJECR) in September and is now seeking a cash influx to expand those efforts through support for community organizations, according to Regan. About one-third of the funding would go into grants to outside groups, and the newly proposed budget would approximately double the agency’s funding for civil rights issues.

“In fiscal year 2024 EPA requests more than $375 million and 265 [full-time employees] for the Environmental Justice Program. The funding will help to expand support for community based organizations, indigenous organizations, tribes, states, local government and other territorial governments so that they can identify and develop solutions to their environmental justice concerns through multi partner collaborations,” Regan said.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Shouldn't they also carry weapons, have a license to kill, and with the authority to imprison without trials? *****rollingeyes*****

Give them a few million rounds from the ammo stockpile Obama accumulated.

Once Mr.(I'm assuming here)Regan and his fellow Gaia worshipers have 100% divested personally from all fossil fuel products and lives without their use and benefits then we can talk.

What exactly is an “environmental justice bureaucrat ?”
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
What exactly is an “environmental justice bureaucrat ?”
It's someone who decides whether straight, white, responsible, hard working, Christian (or Jewish) people actually deserve to not live ass-deep in trash in the alley/yard/front room that other people have because they didn't bother to pick it up and set it out for/attacked/robbed the garbage collectors.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Regan eventually visited East Palestine and showed himself to be an utterly incompetent buffoon.

I believe that incompetent buffoon is the number one and only qualification that Brandon has when selecting people, probably because for some reason he thinks surrounding himself with incompetent buffoons will make him somehow look competent in comparison. I think this idiot should be rewarded by having the EPA budget slashed by 50%.
