THE GOP AND TBT

Every time I'm inclined to trust public affairs to a Republican administration, I find they want to sell National Parks, reduce the clean air and water standards, stop the acquisition of land by the fish and wildlife service and do away with national safety standards.

Yes, there are some regulations that need to be changed but why repeal current limits on tributyltin (TBT)? Why increase the amount of TBT in the food chain?
