 Rusty Bowers, ARPA’s Government Relations Director and Candidate for Congressional District 1, has this to say for his latest from the campaign trail: “Wow – what an incredible adventure – and what a marvel that we still have the liberty of standing forth as candidates before our peers. We had a terrific time walking our “Clean up Congress” wheelbarrow in the Calvin Coolidge parade and meeting the kids and folks at the Republican booth. The trail ride on Green’s Peak and the wonderful program in Springerville, cattlemen meetings in the Sierra Anchas and on the top of Chevlon Butte (Wow, that is a story!), the Republican Trunk and Tusk and Mingus meetings in Prescott and Cottonwood, the trip from the Sedona town hall to Thatcher’s great little park (congrats to the young scout and his friends doing this Eagle project) and the business round table in Casa Grande. Then last (Wednesday) night to meet with some great Young Republicans at Embry – Riddle in Prescott – What great folks! And all the people and mayors and workers and wonderful people across the district – it is humbling to meet everyone and I am excited by your enthusiasm.
Reading John Shadegg’s post about the day-to-day shenanigans of the liberals, and the incredible leftward lunge this administration and those that support it have made, is sobering and close to frightening. But I believe in the hope that our ancestors showed when given opportunity to pursue their own manner of happiness. We don’t know how it will all work out, but we will WORK and MOVE FORWARD in reclaiming that hope for ourselves and our kids. I don’t want someone else taking care of my kids, I want them to get the shackles out of my way and let me take care of my kids. Thanks so much for your love and support! Let’s WIN!

EPA Administrator Announces Plan to Reinvigorate Clean Water Enforcement Program |
|
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced October 15 at a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing that the agency is stepping up its efforts on Clean Water Act (CWA) enforcement. The Clean Water Action Enforcement Plan is a first step in revamping the compliance and enforcement program. It seeks to improve protection of water quality, raise the bar in federal and state performance and enhance public transparency.
The new EPA plan outlines how the agency will strengthen the way it addresses the water pollution challenges including pollution caused by numerous sources, such as contaminated water that flows from industrial facilities, construction sites, and runoff from urban streets. EPA is already 24 months into a three year national enforcement campaign to address storm water runoff from ready mixed concrete and aggregate operations.
