From the Las Vegas Review Journal:
So the same agency that just spilled millions of gallons of toxic wastewater into an actual waterway (with no consequences to the EPA) is fining a law-abiding citizen who purifies creek water that passes through his property the equivalent of his annual household income every couple of days.
The EPA's primary mission is not protecting the environment, but rather exercising and expanding the agency's power, to the detriment of the taxpayers who fund it. Thanks to Mr. Laxalt for doing his part to protect Nevada from more EPA overreach.
