Actually enforce clean air & water laws. The "big" idea is this: bring to bear the full force and effect of CLEAN AIR & WATER legislation on the books. Execute the full power of legislative authority and prosecute all those companies (big and small) that ignore and/or abuse the loop holes in our clean air & water laws for their benefit. Finally, expand the scope and authority for the EPA asap; and stop gutting their authority with politics.
