Sasse left, Domina right. |
Domina, the Democrat, goes on to say:
“There is no question the proposed regulation goes beyond what existed, but the rule does not disturb agricultural practices that I’m aware of anywhere in Nebraska,’’ he said. “This misinformation is a disservice to people who will spend money and energy they don’t have on unnecessary consultants selling them services they don’t need to manage their businesses.”
Ah yes, the whole issue is a "myth" caused by "misinformation" and if only the rural heathens were as smart as Domina & the envirocrats at EPA, they would understand.
The real problem, don't you see, is not the proposed regulation but the evil private sector and those "consultants" who are scaring the hell out of us with "misinformation" just so they can sell their services.
We also have a little divide and conquer going on here. If the proposed rule "goes beyond what existed, but...does not disturb agricultural practices...anywhere in Nebraska", then we should just keep our mouths shut. How dare someone oppose something just based on the principal involved.
Sasse, the Republican, says:
“I believe in reasonable, smart regulations,” Sasse said. “The Clean Water Act has done good things. But this is not smart regulation. Farmers are scared.’’
Sasse is apparently one of those Republicans who believe our environmental laws are OK, we just need "reasonable" reg's to implement them. In fact, the reg's must be "smart." I'm trying to remember the last time I saw a smart regulation. Experience shows that what is "reasonable" will vary from one administration to another and we'll continue to be stuck with this problem until the law is amended. A "smart" Republican would know that.
Finally, look at the photo. If I hadn't labelled them, which one would you have guessed to be the Republican? At least some things are looking up.
