 We've asked Governor Perry and his appointees to help clean up our air and water and he's failed.
Last Tuesday the EPA announced it will take over parts of the Texas air permitting program because it is illegal and doesn't adhere to the Clean Air Act. We applaud EPA's action -- but Governor Perry has the audacity to try to stop the EPA.
Take action and tell Governor Perry to get out of the way and let EPA do their job to protect our health in Texas!
Instead of acting in the interest of Big Polluters, Perry's appointed Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) should look out for Texas families. Soon, the TCEQ will undergo Sunset Review which only happens once every twelve years. At that time, we will have another opportunity to voice our concerns about the lack of enforcement on Big Polluters. With the recent BP Oil Disaster we've seen how important regulations are and we need the EPA to step in to protect our health and environment in Texas.
Tell Governor Perry to step aside and let the EPA clean up our air and protect our health since no one else is going to do it!
