EPA Administrator Addresses Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Federal Advisory Committee

Today U.S. Environmental Protection Administration Administrator Lisa P. Jackson addressed the newly-appointed members of the Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Federal Advisory Committee (FRRCC) during their first official meeting since being appointed. The FRRCC is an independent committee, established by EPA in 2008, that advises the agency on a wide range of environmental issues of importance to agriculture and rural communities. EPA also announced the new committee members, who were appointed in May. “EPA is working to ensure that American farmers, ranchers and rural communities are more environmentally sustainable and economically resilient than ever before,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “America’s farmers have a broad impact on everything from daily food prices to widespread environmental impacts to emerging fuel technologies. We need them to be part of our decision making process, and this meeting is yet another step in our engagement with the agricultural community.”...more

Yes, it is definitely time to pull out the bullshit detector.

Lisa, they don't feel "engaged", they feel...well...let's just say they are overly engaged by your agency's interference with environmentally and economically sound production practices.

Pull out that detector anytime this lady speaks.
