The Top Ten Dumbest Fines In America

#8 – Building a Pond

EPA bureaucrats are never ending in their regulatory conquest. Although I doubt it will save the whales or combat “climate change”, the EPA fined a Wyoming welder $75,000 a day for building a pond…on his own property. The pond is stocked full of wildlife from ducks to fish, and will serve as a sanctuary for horses to graze, kids to play, and adults to relax.

Apparently, that’s too much enjoyment for the folks at the EPA. They’ve unsurprisingly decided to ignore the county building permit and their own laws. However, this American dream isn’t going down without a fight and the landowner is pushing back.

Such a menace to society!
