What a damned disgrace! Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement nominee: Mr. let them eat coal ash himself!
What the hell is going on in the Obama administration? Is he in charge, or are the Clintons?
I swear they are acting like Hillary won the presidency and not Obama.
We have Blue Dog Jackasses like Max Baucus whose voting record is so dismal for the middle class that themiddleclass.org gives him a “C” in charge of drafing a health care.
Now we have this s.o.b. that they are trying to promote. What the hell is really going on?
**********************************************************
With so many qualified candidates for the directorship of the important Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, why is the Obama administration nominating Joseph G. Pizarchik, a controversial advocate for coal ash dumping, who also admits he still needs to learn more about the even more controversial and huge issue of mountaintop removal?
–Mr. Pizarchik has promoted valley fills. In 2001, as primary regulatory counsel,
Pizarchik supervised the drafting of PA DEP regulations implementing Act 114
that weakened the state’s stream buffer zone rule allowing the filling of stream
valleys in PA.
–Mr. Pizarchik advocates the law should allow surface coal mines to be used as
major dumping operations.
–Mr. Pizarchik has been resistant to citizen input. PA DEP mining policies under
Mr. Pizarchik systematically removed the “public” from the federally required
public participation. In direct contradiction to the citizen provisions of SMCRA -
and the intent of Congress to encourage citizen participation - Mr. Pizarchik has
actively discouraged public testimony. [Sounds like he is a first cousin to Max Baucus}
