Cancer valley? 22 chemical explosions in Texas, 8 in Louisiana? And the agency had no authority to impose fines? Just warnings?
I think I actually see the semblance of reasoning in closing this agency, in a really twisted backwards kind of way. It costs money and seems to have very little jurisdiction. Corporations gain nothing by exploding their facilities.
