Good news from EPA head Gina McCarthy: The EPA is still hard at work cleaning up the #GoldKingMine spill, which released a million gallons of toxic wastewater into the Animas River, and the agency is learning from the incident. Lesson 1: Don’t trust the EPA not to release a million gallons of toxic wastewater into the river, or secretly dump 15,000 tons of hazardous waste down a mineshaft.
6 weeks after #GoldKingMine spill we're hard at work on cleanup & learning from the incident. https://t.co/jp2Zmcj6jZ pic.twitter.com/fNMs0uqfdu

@GinaEPA Will you resign? Will anyone at the EPA be punished?

It seems a shame to interrupt her education, but 19 House members have introduced a resolution to impeach McCarthy.

The Dallas Morning News reports that the resolution accuses McCarthy of “perjury and making false statements before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.”

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) spells out the specifics behind his impeachment effort on his website after this introduction:
On numerous occasions, Gina McCarthy not only broke the law by lying to Congress, but in doing so she also lied to the American people in order to force misguided and overreaching regulations, which have no scientific basis, down our throats. Her agencies new mandates will kill hundreds of thousands of jobs and cause untold economic harm to communities throughout the country. She must be held accountable for violating the rule of law and the only way for that to happen is through the impeachment process.
@RepGosar Good for you! She's incompetent at best, a straight up criminal at worst.

@RepGosar This will be a great start if it happens!

@RepGosar @GayPatriot Get rid of that little IRS commissar pissant, too while you're at it. I'll congratulate you when it's done.
