Lamar Smith
Member of Congress
Smith to Subpoena EPA’s Secret Science
As Chairman of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee
, I am investigating the EPA’s use of secret data as the basis for new and costly regulations. The Obama administration is using this data to support upcoming air quality rules, one of which is expected to be the most costly regulation in U.S. history with a price tag of $90 billion annually.
Hard-working Americans and small businesses will bear the brunt of this new rule. Despite the fact that the data sets were compiled using taxpayer dollars, the EPA has thus far refused to make the information public. This week I sent a final letter
to the EPA demanding that the information be provided to the Committee. If Congress does not receive the data by the end of this month, I will force its release through a congressional subpoena.
The American people have the right to know what data the EPA is using to support their claims that these costly regulations are necessary. If the EPA does not have anything to hide, why not make this information public? More information about my investigation into the EPA’s use of secret science can be found HERE

Didn’t the head of the EPA have a secret email account under a pseudo name? If so, isn’t that also a crime?
