Oh, I can't even. I thought we were all just realizing how much water need to be protected, from contamination as well as theft (incl "rights). So to see a move backward? Wow.

The Act limits the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to enforce national water quality standards.

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN DO THIS. Why would this ping your brain as a good idea? Who sits there and goes "OH MAN YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED? LOWER WATER QUALITY STANDARDS!" None of this shit makes jobs! It makes this fucking country a goddamn death trap.

My congresstwit voted for this, even though we are a Great Lakes state. So if we in Michigan want to fuck over the water here, then Canada, Ohio, Wisconsin, etc. just will have to suck it. And my state is desperate enough for cash now that we would happily foul all of the water we have and worry about it later.
