The unbalanced membership of the House Interior Subcommittee is the same for the Environment.


I am sure everyone realizes there are sometimes conflict of interest between the Interior Department and the EPA. They are separate cabinet positions. So, by all measurable standards the same members of the Interior Subcommittee overseeing the appropriations of the EPA is corrupt from the beginning.

Then realize the announcement of this meeting appeared under Interior. Now while that might seem petty, if I were looking for the budget meeting for the EPA and knowing it had it's own cabinet secretary, would I be looking under "Interior?" No. That is called obstructionism.
