EPA is apparently at it again. Readers will recall that EPA has made the policy decision to include/combine their misguided “environmental justice” program under the Title VI civil rights act (CWMCN Volume 6, Issue No. 5). As if that is not a sufficient miscarriage of “justice,” it has come to light that Regional USEPA officials in California have also included people with “low incomes” in a presentation about a new agency policy. The presentation was given to the California department of toxic substances control which is currently involved in a number of environmental justice disputes. USEPA was reportedly stunned a couple of weeks ago when not a single congressman in the House Commerce Committee hearings came to the defense of their civil rights policy.
