i don't know the details or the outcome, but what we do know, in the 19 eighties, the environmental protection agency came out to international paper company and did a study. they found they were violating a voluminous number of regulations. they did their own internal study, and there is going to be over 500 million dollars. they closed and move now. scott paper closed sections that were in violation of most of the regulations and they kept open one division that makes a big role of paper. they met all of the epa standards, we'll, keep in mind that when these facilities open, we did not have the environmental protection agency. the epa was not established until 1970. so they had been an operation to the fifties, sixties, and seventies and mid eighties before there was even studies done. as a result of that, as i sat down with a lot of people that died for cancer, there used to be over 12,000 people that live in this community. now it's less than 2000. i'm not saying that they all died from cancer, but the younger generation are not coming back to this environment. >> somewhere in this area that the

executed a wifia loan with the united states environmental protection agency. wifia is an acronym for the water infrastructure finance and innovation act and provides low interest loans to municipalities for qualified wastewater projects. the 2018 loan, which is in the approximate amount of $699 million, partially funded the biosolids project. it was executed at an interest rate of 3.09%, which at the time was a very low interest rate relative to where the market was at the time and relative to what we would have been paying had we issued revenue bonds, which is our default long-term funding mechanism, so it looked real good back in 2018. so the first of your two items, item number 12, asks you to approve a replacement to the 2018 loan, or a reexecution that will reduce the interest rate to a level representative of today's interest rate environment, which is much, much lower than where rates were when we executed the 2018 loan. in today's market, the rate on a loan would be approximately 1.86%, almost half of the interest rate on the 2018. all the terms and co

there is the department of agriculture, transportation, environmental protection agency. he.ident is the bus as our legal system has grown up over the last century, agencies cannot say we are going to have a new clean-air regulation and it will be much cleaner, or we will eliminate our food safety regulation and it will be much easier for people to sell food. you can undo that. you have to show there is justification in the law and in the science, and in economics that makes it makes sense. ,o be a little more concrete suppose there is a biden administration that issues greenhouse gas regulations on day one. you cannot just do that. publicto be subject to a comment process, consistent with the source of law, the clean air act, and it has to be reasonable. it cannot say we are going to eliminate cars in the united states that are not electric, unless there is some justification for that. this is kind of like life. when it is working well in a company, you cannot just say we are going to have a complete turnaround. you can may be legally do that but you cannot do that and re

the epa, environmental protection agency, cracking down on amazon and ebay. susan: they want them to stop selling unproven, unsafe disinfectants including products that falsely marketed towards killing covid-19 on their platforms. we are talking about sprays, other products touted as preventing epidemics, 70 in total. this will come with some fines if they don't do that. around $20,000 per sale if that occurs. the company, if we can bring up amazon's statement here, saying the company has been removing the products in question and we are taking action against the bad actors who listed them and they developed specific tools to scan product detail pages for any inaccurate claims they say the company's initial filters may have missed. this is something obviously very important to crack down on. i still haven't been able to find the clorox wipes now for three months on amazon. have you? stuart: i have not been looking, actually. i must confess. susan: you are one of those brave types. stuart: i don't know about that. i'm going to move on. is that okay? i'm going

remember, this all started with the environmental protection agency imposing draconian regulations back and our friends on the other side of the political aisle yelled and screamed and yelled and screamed, you can't trust the environment to politicians. we trust the entire government to politicians. the constitution entrusts the government to politicians. stuart: you always get fired up with the constitution. you're always good at that. back to the farm, judge. >> yes. thank you, stuart. pleasure to be with you. stuart: thank you. see you soon. now then, the dow is holding on to that nice gain, up 400 points. bottom right-hand corner of the screen. >>> fort lauderdale, miami, closing the beaches for the holiday weekend. because there's a virus case surge in florida. can local leaders really stop young folks from getting out there and celebrating on the beach? i will ask the mayor of miami that question. >>> happy birthday to the iphone. first went on sale on this day in 2007. coming up, we take a look back at how it's changed and what to expect from the new model later this year. more a

one way to do it is having her attack the environmental protection agency, she wishes the trump administration would do more. picking a bit of a spot politically, picking that shot at the epa but never taking a shot ever at president trump, his conduct, his ethics, his political positioning because she feels she needs the trump voters in iowa to come out. this is her first re-election, she was elected in 2014, she will be an example of the nationalization of the republican politics in the trump era. >> you know, kasie, i had said it was donald trump who was losing with white women without college degrees by 31%, it's actually joni ernst which is more shocking. but donald trump has been losing ground with white women without college degrees for quite some time. just that trend among republicans is a real problem. especially in joni ernst you had somebody -- we ran her ad six years ago, laughing talking about how great the ads were because she was talking about pigs, she was going to take on the squealing pigs in washington d.c., she's going to be tough and independent minded and then you fast f

charging grant program, requiring the department of transportation to consult with the environmental protection agency on the awarding of community climate innovation grants and ensure public comment in the determination of the types of projects that most significantly reduce carbon pollution, adding additional vifrltal considerations to the goals of the national highway freight program, ensuring that the impacts of railway, highway bottlenecks are considered under the program, expanding the role of historically black colleges and yuferes and other minority-serving institutions in the department of transportation research, authorizing new research programs to expand transportation access for low income, minority and other underserved community, ensuring the projects submitted to the f.t.a. capital investment programs can use ridership data collected before the covid-19 outbreak, that makes sense, and projections based on that data. ensuring that projects carried out under the national service -- surface transportation funding pilot include for participants. these are just some highlights of the amendm

environmental protection act. right now there's no limit to it, and so, agencies, between a combination of agency action, court action and preparations for those two separate venues, it's not uncommon in this country to see a project, sometimes it's a road or a high. sometimes it's an energy project or something much more pedestrian, but it's not all that uncommon these days to see that taking more than a decade and there's no reason for that. we don't end up with a cleaner environment as a result of it taking that long. the review process itself makes sure we don't wreak havoc on the environment where we might otherwise. no reason they should take a decade. and i put in place requirements to allow the federal government to use corresponding state law document productions, as a substitute for what the federal government would otherwise be providing. if the state has already done something similar, the federal government ought to be able to handle that. this would reduce the overall volume of paper work and it's something that could be put into a phase 4 legislative package, particularly if there ends up being an infr

environmental impact the authorities just do the paperwork. in germany that's the federal office of consumer protection and food safety along with 3 other agencies none of them test products. so everything depends on studies carried out by the manufacturer as the european beekeepers association points out it's a system that all too easy to manipulate. us think on the manufacturers can intervene at all levels don't even get a say in how any prescribed tests are structured for tests that. they serve us down or who hoard goes up until now it's also been the case that these studies that a manufacturer commissioned or under took remained a corporate c.e.o. for a time as this. the advantage for they couldn't be published on and damn it also steamed me so no one else could tell what the licensing authorities actually checked. we had to drop will prove taht just matters that makes life easy for the authorities because no one can really question their decisions and try to recruit from those words 10 it's a very convenient relationship between industry and regulatory authorities would you rather. to this day remains a distinctly sickly system what if inde

decision which is very critical of the independence of independent agencies like the food and drug administration, the environmental protection the federal reserve or the post office or the social security administration, but it basically said under the constitution, all, not some, all executive power is given to the president so if the president has people working for him who disagree with him, then they are taking some of the executive power away from him. stated differently, the president has the power to fire or dismiss without cause anybody who runs an administrative agency and that applies to the federal reserve as well. the language was broad and the language was sweeping. in fact, it was even broader than that, because the concurring opinion by justices thomas and gorsuch basically says this is a myth of independence. they should not be independent. all these agencies should be in the executive branch but shouldn't be some entity in the federal government that's alien to the constitution and that nobody can control and that is not accountable to the constitution or to the people. neil: but it does not give the preside
