Disgraced EPA Director Says She Regrets Not Communicating With Farmers… She Was Too Busy Spying on Them in Planes

Midwest farmers were outraged to hear that Lisa Jackson and the EPA were spying on ranches in surveillance planes. Rep. Tom Latham sent a letter to the EPA demanding answers on this controversial practice.  In his letter Lathan argued,

“No federal agency has the right to treat the American farmer like the Taliban.”

To the Obama EPA – Iowa farmers are the enemy.

Today Lisa Jackson told reporters she regretted not doing a better job communicating with rural farmers.
The Hill reported:

Departing Departing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson said she wished she had communicated better during her tenure with rural regions that felt victimized by the agency’s pollution rules.

“If I were starting again, I would from day one make a much stronger effort to do personal outreach in rural America,” Jackson said in a wide-ranging interview with Reuters published Monday.

Clashes with rural GOP lawmakers characterized much of Jackson’s time in Obama administration, but Jackson has lamented what she says are inaccurate claims about the scope of EPA’s agenda.

Controversial EPA director Lisa Jackson decided to step down after it was revealed she was being investigated by the U.S. House for allegedly using secret email accounts to conduct official business outside the prying eyes of requests conducted under the Freedom of Information Act.
