The Republican Pro-Lead Caucus
By 
In case you had forgotten about Kris Kobach, and I wish I had, he is currently Attorney General of Kansas and he is leading a righteous crusade to protect the right of Kansas children to get lead poisoning. But Big Government wants to get in the way of this precious right!
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach lead a coalition of state attorneys general in opposition to an Environmental Protection Agency regulation that would require the replacement of more than 9 million lead pipes across the country. The proposed rule would cost individual homeowners thousands of dollars.
“This is another example of unnecessary overreach by the Biden administration. Americans are already burdened by rising energy and utility costs and crushing inflation, and this proposal just adds insult to injury.” Kobach said. “The EPA should abandon it.”
The multi-state coalition strongly opposes the EPA’s “National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper,” because the regulations would increase utility costs for everyone and force private homeowners to pay to replace their own lines if they contain lead and connect to a city line.
“This proposed rule creates a heavy-handed mandate on states that is nigh impossible to comply with and is also a financial burden on already squeezed middle class families,” the joint letter reads. “It is unworkable, underfunded, and unnecessary and should be withdrawn.”
Thank you for saving us from the horrors of children growing up without lead!
