To all:

The republican legislature in California just passed an industry-lobbied
bill that will make it tougher to prosecute water polluters.

Senator jim costa, with the support of oil companies, big business, and the
Farm Bureau, will help companies escape criminal prosecution for discharging
toxins as long as the spills don't reach "major" water bodies.

How do you all feel about this?  Their reasoning was not backed by science,
but rather a claim that county prosecuters have used anti-pollution laws to
harass businesses and raise money for heir coffers.

If this is the result of transferring federal authority to the states, I am
in fear for our environment and our health.
