09/01/2005: "Fucking SCAPCA"

SCAPCA, the Spokane County Air Polution Control Authority, is in the news. Apparently the EPA no longer considers Spokane's air to be 'dirty'.


The last time Spokane's air exceeded federal carbon monoxide standards was 1996, Skelton said. The last measured violation of particulate standards occurred in 1993.

But Skelton said there are concerns that Spokane may begin violating EPA standards for ozone, another pollution caused by cars.

Translation: "Please don't cut my funding."

In the meantime, SCAPCA is defending itself against the outraged citizens it relentlessly persecutes.

Northwest Renovators Inc., a company that renovates buildings, showed two copies of lab results provided to SCAPCA by Mountain Laboratories. Owners Michael Lee and Doug Gore contend that one copy of the report, regarding the asbestos contamination inside a burned-out building, were doctored by SCAPCA.

I am not suprised. I've delt with SCAPCA. They need to be shut down. Skelton and some of his crew need to go to jail.

There is also this. For God's sake, Spokane, SCAPCA can arbitrarily decide to stop the snow plows. "Stagnant air alert"? Whats that? Where are the regulations that govern that?

I've met Skelton, and he reminds me of the type of career bureaucrat who can't have regular bowel movements. He's an anal-retentive asshole in every sense of the term. He'll do anything, say anything, break any law, even violate the Constitution to keep his cushy job around, and he does it all with a smug grin on his face, knowing that he can twist other career bureaucrats to his point of view.

Those in the know understand that the EPA's re-classification of Spokane's air has NOTHING to do with SCAPCA, and everything to do with the 1990 Clean Air Act, and its 1997 revision. Eric did nothing but create a job for himself.

Spokane, its time to disband SCAPCA, and throw Skelton in jail with the child sex offenders.
