[John Connor]

...and all the other three letter acronym fed fuck agencies. NSA, IRS, etc, etc.

EPA spends $1.6 million on hotel for ‘Environmental Justice’ conference

“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), Office of Enforcement and Compliance, Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) intends to award a fixed-price Purchase Order … to the Renaissance Arlington Local Capital View Hotel,” the solicitation said. “The purpose of this acquisition is to cover the cost of 195 sleeping room nights from Sept. 9 [to] Oct 2, 2014, at government rate for the 50th public meeting of the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC), a federal advisory committee of the EPA.”
Rooms at the Renaissance Arlington run for roughly $349 a night. At 24 nights, the cost of 195 rooms will reach $1,633,320, or $8,376 per room.
The government per diem rate for lodging is $219 for September. If the EPA receives the per diem rate, the cost will come to $1,024,920 for the duration of their stay.

And to add at how fucked up these assholes are.

You’re not going to believe what's turned up at the Denver EPA.
Internal emails from a regional Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 8 office show that management has had to remind its employees –in writing- not to defecate in the hallway. Really.

Outrageous outrage is outrageous.

Outrageous outrage is outrageous.

It must be a slow outrage day with no direction from the great right wing mother ship.

It's like junkies when the main man doesn't show up on time. They're Jonesing.

The 1% would elevate you to Sainthood and the millions who actually produce goods and services would have a lifespan of 50 years or less.

OP, why would anyone expect anything different from organizations who define a good job as following policy?

Update Sunday, June 29: This story originally reported that the EPA needed 195 rooms over 24 days. The EPA actually needed 195 room nights over 24 days. We regret the error. The story has been updated to reflect the accurate numbers.

Lol

Lol

Fox closed down the comment section but didn't change the title. :sneaky:

 

[Thebobo]

LOl Fox news. Do some research before you post their tripe. Seriously when have you ever heard of someone one attending a conference for 24 days straight. And if you read the request you will see it is for 195 sleeping room nights, so 195 X 219 = $42,705

The purpose of this acquisition is to cover the cost of 195 sleeping room nights from Sept. 9 ? Oct 2, 2014, at government rate

Operating expenses are the least of our concerns from the EPA. Their tackiling of CO2 is a tackling of civilization.

Looks like the OP got his daily cup.

Looks like the OP got his daily cup.

To be fair, the story was ran wrong (and probably still is at Fox even though they have been e-mailed about it). Besides, I'm sure he still stand behind the title of the OP and his hate of Obama and the gubment.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

I hear raw meat and gunpowder goes well with a cup of rage.

 

[brycejones]

Its not the OP's fault it turns out to be inaccurate.....

But I do notice the OP has done nothing to correct his OP or even address that he was duped.

Again, neither has Fox (even with e-mail notification to their corrections e-mail address).

True, but the story on its own sounds like a $200 million presidential trip to India.

Basically the op is as nutty as stew and will believe anything that fills his cup o rage in the morning.

It is his fault however that he trusted anything posted on Fox News to begin with.

Ahh.. I work.

I assume you meant they aren't doing enough to tackle CO2. Remember the chart you posted with the two time periods where it turned out the modern one was warming much more quickly? In sure that concerns you.

 

[brycejones]

Ahh.. I work.

And still no commentary about how you were duped.

 

[John Connor]

Suck it!

 

[brycejones]

Look another mature response from the nutter fringe. So I guess you don't mind being played.
