More Than 200 Attend Smith’s EPA Regulation Roundtable in Kerrville
C
ONGRESSMAN LAMAR SMITH (R-Texas) hosted a
public meeting April 18 on “Reining in the EPA: A Regulation Roundtable,” and Gordon Sauer, Sauer Cattle Company, owner of Hill Country Titles and Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association direc- tor, Fredericksburg, served on the panel. Smith says, “The public
Gordon Sauer
has a right to know about the drastic and costly regu- lations that the EPA is crafting behind closed doors. These proposals will have far-reaching impacts that will be felt in communities all across Texas and the nation. As chairman of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure that agencies like the EPA are operating in the most effi cient, effective, and account- able manner possible.” Other panelists were Kathleen Hartnett White, Texas
Public Policy Foundation director of the Armstrong Center for Energy & the Environment; LaMarriol Smith, executive manager for strategic communications and public affairs of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority; Tracy McCuan, general manager and chief executive offi cer of the Kerrville Public Utility Board; and Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. Smith recently subpoenaed the EPA after the agency
refused to hand over information related to almost 6,000 deleted text messages linked to the agency’s top offi cial, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. Smith has also previously subpoenaed the agency for failure to turn over the underlying scientifi c data used for mak- ing costly regulations. Last year, Smith exposed extensive maps of U.S.
waters and wetlands that the EPA commissioned — and tried to keep hidden — while working to update its controversial Waters of the U.S. Rule.
