    There are plenty of news agencies picking up the story. Here's one.

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/24/donald-trump-shut-epa-down-thank-goodness/

    According to a report from The Associated Press, “Emails sent to EPA staff since President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday … detailed specific prohibitions banning press releases, blog updates or posts to the agency’s social media accounts.”

    “The Trump administration has also ordered what it called a temporary suspension of all new business activities at the department, including issuing task orders or work assignments to EPA contractors. The orders were expected to have a significant and immediate impact on EPA activities nationwide, the AP reported.

    What great news for an agency with a history of executive overreach and lawlessness (using the Clean Power Plan to wipe out the coal industry, expanding its authority to lay claim on any pond or waterway, colluding with environmental groups to expand their power through rule-making).

    Yes, because the EPA is a bastion of great work. Oops. EPA caused this.

    How did the EPA cause this? Are those official EPA kayaks with bad yellow paint? I'd go ask the EPA about the mess their kayaks made but they're not allowed to answer any of my questions right now.

    ..... see bold.

    The 2015 Gold King Mine waste water spill is a 2015 environmental disaster at the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado.[2] On August 5, 2015, EPA personnel, along with workers for Environmental Restoration LLC (a Fenton, Missouri, company under EPA contract to mitigate pollutants from the closed mine), caused the release of toxic wastewater when attempting to add a tap to the tailing pond for the mine.[3] The maintenance by EPA was necessary because local jurisdictions had previously refused Superfund money to fully remediate the regions' derelict mines, due to a fear of lost tourism.[4] After the spill, the Silverton Board of Trustees and the San Juan County Commission approved a joint resolution seeking Superfund money.[5]

    Contractors accidentally destroyed the plug holding water trapped inside the mine, which caused an overflow of the pond, spilling three million US gallons (11 ML) of mine waste water and tailings, including heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, and other toxic elements, such as arsenic,[6] beryllium,[6] zinc,[6] iron[6] and copper[6] into Cement Creek, a tributary of the Animas River in Colorado.[7] The EPA was criticized for not warning Colorado and New Mexico about the operation until the day after the waste water spilled, despite the fact the EPA employee "in charge of Gold King Mine knew of blowout risk."[8]

    So the EPA hired a contractor to clean up a superfund mess and had an accident one time? Do you think the EPA does this consistently and does more harm than good the majority of the time?
