KMA RADIO: Ernst backs WOTUS revamp
“What we saw under the WOTUS rule,” said Ernst, “was an incredible overreach from the federal government in an attempt to control whatever water or pathway that might exist on private land, federal land, state laid. It was an overreach of the federal government, and went way too far.” At that same time, Ernst wants the environment protected. “We want clean water, we want clean land, we want clean air” she said. “But, what we can’t allow is the federal government controlling every aspect of that water, that land, that air. Overall, we have to have a clear definition of what is–and isn’t–the waters of the U.S.”
