Governor Brown Proposes Weakening Environmental Review of CA's Largest Infrastructure Projects
http://greenroots.pcl.org/2012/06/07/governor-brown-proposes-weakening-environmental-review-on-californias-largest-infrastructure-projects/
(Yep...that's projectS.  I'm no huge fan of regulatory agencies, but for crying out loud, isn't the fundamental purpose of EPA, NEPA, CEQA, etc. to first and foremost protect our communities and humans, then to protect the supposed endangered species that pretty much puts the skids on any project you or I would want to pursue?

But lo and behold nooo...now these processes are to be weakened to ramrod, forget fast-tracking, high speed rail and a peripheral something or other built entirely out of rebar and concrete down our throats.  The only fast track we are on is the fast track into total annihilation.)

(Several links.  I didn't post yesterday the original article to this, nor another article about Heartland Institute.  Both articles had pictures of their respective representatives and from a photographer's point of view...both of these people look like slime on both sides.  Both perpetuated lies, both have engaged in immoral/unethical behaviors ...my apologies if I offend, but what I saw captured in their images was both sides of a dirty coin.

I have no confidence in either organization, both right AND left.)
