OUTRAGEOUS REPORT: EPA’s Wasteful Spending On “Performance Bonuses” is Bad BUT The PR Campaign Spending Will Blow Your MindYes, the EPA has a PR department BUT they spent over $15 million on outside public relations consultants! I guess it takes millions upon millions to brainwash the American people into thinking the EPA is even necessary. The overregulation and overspending is legendary and needs to stop! A Democrat has even jumped into a federal lawsuit against overregulation by the EPA:Missouri s Democratic attorney general announced on Friday that his state will join a federal lawsuit seeking to block the implementation of controversial new Environmental Protection Agency regulations.DEFUND THE EPA!The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spent over $15 million on outside public relations consultants despite employing nearly 200 full-time in house PR workers.A new report on EPA spending released by Open the Books, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transparency, found numerous examples of questionable expenditures within the agency.Among them, the EPA spent over $15.1 million on outside public relations consultants between 2000 and 2014. The funding was on top of the $141.496 million in salaries and $1.5 million in bonuses on full-time public affairs officers the EPA has spent since 2007. As of 2012, the EPA employed 198 public affairs employees. The average EPA employee salary is $111,165. Everyone is under the impression that the EPA is spending money to  clean the environment.  But, it turns out EPA is running a $160 million PR Machine, $715 million police agency, a near $1 billion employment agency for seniors, and a $1.2 billion in-house law firm,  said Adam Andrzejewski, the founder of Open the Books. The EPA wasting $160 million on public relations dwarfs our recent exposure of their high-end furniture purchases ($92 million),  he said.  Nothing is emblematic of government excess like an army of highly compensated PR agents sitting in their easy chairs. It s simply waste. Open the Books also found the EPA spent $261,456 on badges and insignia, millions on gym equipment, and $17,820 on  Games, Toys and Wheeled Goods. The agency spent $23,884 for awards and trophies for the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) ceremony in 2012 and 2013. The EPA culture of wasteful spending extended into their own award ceremonies,  said Andrzejewski.  Tagging the awards as  athletic and sporting equipment  in their checkbook, they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to pat themselves on their own backs. Andrzejewski noted that the EPA also has given $144 million in performance bonuses since 2007.  It s an imbedded culture that gave $4 million in additional awards, badges, and trophies to themselves paid for at taxpayer expense,  he said.Read more: WFBGovernment News
