"Anti-EPA Lawmaker Hounded At Town Halls" [1]

"A Republican who has proposed to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was hounded by constituents recently at a pair of town hall events.

Most of the questions freshman Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) got at the Thursday events were in opposition to his Feb. 3 bill that simply states that the EPA shall be terminated by the end of 2018, the Pensacola News Journal reported.

Environmentalists and other groups helped to organize protests and helped publicize the events."
