In today’s edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, Adam Andrzejewski, founder of
OpenTheBooks.com joins Environment & Climate News managing editor H. Sterling Burnett to discuss the new oversight report on the spending of the Environmental Protection Agency.
OpenTheBooks.com is a project of American Transparency. The website’s objective is to increase transparency by recording "every dime" of federal, state, and local spending.
The new report details the shocking amount of money the EPA is spending on weapons, ammunition and body armor. By budget, the agency ranks larger than many states. As Andrzejewski explains, the EPA has more than 1,000 lawyers, avoids transparency and information requests that prevents proper oversight of the agency’s spending. This podcast is a real eye-opener on the EPA’s waste, abuse, and misallocated funds.
