I'd host the TV show!
Here's the fugitive list: http://www.epa.gov/fugitives/
"The launch of the most-wanted list comes as EPA's criminal enforcement has ebbed. In fiscal 2008, the EPA opened 319 criminal enforcement cases, down from 425 in fiscal 2004. And criminal prosecutors charged only 176 defendants with environmental crimes, the fewest in five years.
But Walter D. James III, an environmental attorney based in Grapevine, Texas, says the EPA is critically understaffed to investigate environmental crimes. While the budget for the division has increased by $11 million since 2000, there are still only 185 criminal investigators. Congress authorized the EPA to hire 200 investigators in 1990."

I'm not surprised they're understaffed in enforcement. I have some good friends who work at the EPA, who have spent the last 8 years feeling completely demoralized by how much they have been hamstrung by this administration...
Excuse me for being intemperate but George W. Bush and his antiregulatory cronies (look where it got the economy) managed to virtually destroy the EPA after decades of success in cleaning up our waterways and the rest of the environment. Let's hope for better days.
Susan--And have you seen the crap Bush is doing on his way out that Obama may never be able to undo? I mean, even republicans think there's something wrong.
James--Hope indeed. It sure does seem like we always waste time and energy (pun intended) on trying to fix the problem anywhere BUT at its source. And the federal government has this down perfectly.
I think I may have seen someone on the list. Photograph Unavailable looks familiar.
