Except that's not what's happening here, the EPA is a federal entity so explain to me how the states are going to govern a federal entity. Congress gave the EPA and other similar agencies these powers because it is impossible to adequately legislate restrictions on chemicals and such through congress in enough time for it to matter. They aren't experts in the field and they won't legislate effectively on those topics which is why congress gave the EPA those powers in the first place. If you think this is a good thing for the common man and not just giving more power to corporations I suggest you give "the jungle" a read to see what things were like before federal regulatory agencies. Do YOU understand how this is supposed to work?
Sweet now corporations can poison us and our fresh water supplies without consequence.
you do grasp the concept of stripping federal government and having the power moved to state level, right?
if your state legislature doesn't care, become it or replace it. do you understand how this is supposed to work.

I understand. seems the federal governments involvement in the educational system stopped the people from understanding.
