The Patriot Post® · Resident Fighting EPA's Wrath

A Wyoming resident is feeling the wrath of Barack Obama’s EPA for inadvertently defying the agency’s strict approval methods. His horrendous act? Building a stock pond back in 2012 … on his own property. Andy Johnson and his wife constructed the pond with the state’s authorization; however, the EPA says that the Johnsons violated federal law for failing to obtain approval from the Army Corps of Engineers. As a result, the EPA is threatening to fine Mr. Johnson $75,000 a day unless he complies with their order of rectifying the situation – a fine Johnson vows not to pay. “I have not paid them a dime nor will I,” he says. “I will go bankrupt if I have to fighting it. … This goes a lot further than a pond. It’s about a person’s rights.” Indeed it is. The EPA’s power grab is blatantly unconstitutional, though such unlawful behavior is to be expected from an administration that has no regard for the Rule of Law.
