Actually, I think you need to stop blaming the media and actually read the story.

Pederson may not have elaborated on his “save money” comment. It’s pretty typical for politicians to make statements like that without any elaboration or explanation in order to mislead the public. He may also have been “drinking the party Kool-aid” and blindly following someone else without checking actual facts first.

“How is a rollback for protections?” What are you saying here? You talk about grading a third grader’s paper but yours makes no sense either. If you mean “how does one rollback protections?” then it simply means that the Republicans are famous for trying to repeal environmental protections laws because those laws cost their big-corporations buddies money, and they do just about anything to help big business roll in the dough, even at the cost of the environment, the water, the people, etc. They basically want this to be another China, where profits are insane, people work for peanuts, and the environment is the last thing on their minds.
