I suppose Joe Arpaio can enforce the laws of religious dogma in Arizona.

This is a civil rights violation. Moving the regional EPA office to Pheonix, Arizona is due to the fact San Francisco is a sanctuary city and has a strong LGBT community.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt (click here) discussed moving the agency's regional headquarters from San Francisco to Phoenix during a meeting with metro Phoenix officials in May. 

GPEC President and CEO Chris Camacho said the Phoenix-area team pitched the idea.

Meeting notes distributed by GPEC to attendees of the meeting state:

"In order to mitigate the $30 million annual lease cost to the agency, Administrator Pruitt stated the intention of moving EPA's region 9 headquarters from San Francisco to Greater Phoenix, following due diligence of cost feasibility."...

There is nothing wrong with the Hawthrone Plaza building. It is modern in it's presentation and is a sound structure that has provided valuable service to the USA EPA. There is no justifiable reason to move the office to Pheonix. It is costly and will increase the cost of those traveling within the region to the regional office.


Regional 9 is comprised of California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and Guam.

There really is not debate, San Francisco is a centrally located city with all the accommodations any EPA and it's citizens would need. The job of the EPA is not about politics, at least it isn't supposed to be, but to solve the problems of the people; all the people.

Hawthorne Plaza (click here) received the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Gold for Existing Buildings (version 2.0) certification in May 2009 and received LEED Platinum for Existing Buildings (version 2009) in August 2014.

EPA also renovated its office space and achieved LEED Platinum for Commercial

Interiors (version 2009) certification in November 2016.

The building has received the ENERGY STAR® annually since 2008, most recently in 2016 with a score of 97.

This is unconstitutional and treason.

During the years President Bill Clinton as in office he signed into law a measure that would allow federal employees to have a Bible openly on their desk. Having a Bible on one's desk is eons from overthrowing the USA Constitution to instill a theocracy.

Biblical war on science: (click here) EPA chief Scott Pruitt uses the Bible to justify new rule preventing university scientists from serving on key advisory boards.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt is using the Bible’s Book of Joshua to prevent “hundreds of expert scientists working in environmental and health fields at universities from serving on the (agency’s advisory) boards”...

Besides being incompetent, deceitful and corrupt, he is now a treasonist. A President's Cabinet is supposed to carry out the business of the country, not destroy the US Constitution and institute a theocracy. Perry is doing the same thing in stating fossil fuels is a light from heaven. 

There isn't that much wrong with the US federal government. If one is a Secretary it practically runs itself. Guiding federal policy, which is the job of any Cabinet Secretary, doesn't mean reinventing the wheel.

Congress needs to remove from their offices, the cabinet secretaries that obviously don't know their job and cannot carry out the duties they are assigned.

EPA Advisory Committees, as any other advisory committee within the federal government, require salaries and spending accounts. There are dearly few Americans that can live in Washington, DC without a salary and act as a volunteer to the committee. There is the issue of those that live elsewhere and have travel and housing expenses when needed in Washington, DC. The entire idea advisory committees can be filled with volunteers is nonsense and malpractice.

This paper discusses the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (click here) and how it affects public participation in environmental decision-making. Passed in 1972 as one of the "openness in government" laws, FACA governs how the federal government seeks outside advice. It has had a profound influence on who participates in government decision-making, when they participate, how they participate, and what influence participation has on policy....

No different than Trump, THERE ARE LAWS!

The Cabinet Secretaries are incompetent because they don't seem to understand THERE ARE LAWS that direct their roles within the Cabinet. The USA is not a dictatorship by which anyone in the Executive Branch can launch into treasonist agendas.

The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub.L. 92–463, 86 Stat. 770, enacted October 6, 1972) (click here), is a United States federal law which governs the behavior offederal advisory committees. In particular, it has special emphasis on open meetings, chartering, public involvement, and reporting.

The Justice Department should be moving against Cabinet Secretaries that cannot carry out their responsibilities and/or seek to instill "biblical order" instead of the USA Constitution and it's many laws. 

This is treason. John Ashcroft prayed before his Executive Committee everyday but, never required strict adherence for every member of his staff to carry out prayer with him as if the Pledge of Allegiance in order to work in the Justice Department.

Best of my knowledge, the USA Constitution and it's laws are still in force; much to the dismay of the Plutocrats.
