According to an independent office within the Small Business Administration (SBA), a controversial rule the EPA is pushing under the Clean Water Act would have a big impact on economic activity and small businesses. The SBA office said the EPA erred and should withdraw its proposal. The rule would give the federal government more control over streams, creeks, and wetlands. If the EPA’s quest to control all water is successful then that one federal agency will control more than just our water. It’s time Congress exercises its authority as a check against the executive power. I am the sponsor of S.J. Res 34, an amendment to the Constitution that would give states the ability to repeal federal laws and regulations when two-thirds of the states agree. I also joined Senator John Barrasso in support of his bill, S. 2496, that would specifically stop the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers from finalizing this rule.
