FAIRFAX, VA—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising the Trump administration for proposing rescinding the Waters of the United States rule:
“The Trump administration is to be praised for proposing to do away with a rule that regulates all waters of the United States under the terms of the Clean Water Act, something that was never intended by the statute. Thankfully, we have a president determined to protect all Americans from a regulatory regime so severe it thought it could claim dominion over every puddle in the country, threatening property rights and the viability of U.S. agriculture.”
