Around the Water Cooler
EPA Power Grab to Regulate Ditches, Gullies on Private Property
Lawmakers are working to block an unprecedented power grab by the Environmental Protection Agency to use the Clean Water Act (CWA) and control land alongside ditches, gullies and other ephemeral spots by claiming the sources are part of navigable waterways.
Long-term unemployment crisis rolls on
The national unemployment rate has fallen from its recession highs, but Americans who have been out of work for six months or more are still having trouble finding work.
Looking Ahead
Tomorrow, Senator Lee will meet with representatives of Court Appointed Special Advocates and the American Academy of Pediatrics. He will also question Attorney General Eric Holder in a Judiciary Committee hearing.
