EPA MIA on BAY

Group says Uncle Sam is failing to protect Chesapeake Bay 1

A new report out from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation says the EPA’s unwillingness to enforce clean air and water standards is turning the huge estuary into a dead zone. Without tough action from the feds, the report concludes, crab harvests will continue to decline, devastating an important industry and threatening others, like tourism.

And if you missed it over the weekend, The Washington Post ran a two-part series on failed efforts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay. The gist: states and agencies tried to hide just how badly the clean-up effort was going in order to guarantee continued funding from the federal government.

    The Cheapeake Bay Foundation ...What a joke. The CBF has spent TONS of money for deacades and the bay gets worse and worse. That place is nothing but a cushy think tank for upscale do-gooders -- except they never get anything done.
