Do you know what bacteria and germs are on your old mop?

ncies' own estimates.Heritage found
the costliest regulations between 2009 and Jan. 20, 2013, came out of
the Environmental Protection Agency, with their rules imposing nearly $40
billion in costs. Next in line was the Department of Transportation, followed
by the Department of Energy.The Department of Health and Human Services
was in the middle of the pack, though with regulations from the
federal health care overhaul still in the pipeline, costs associated with
that agency could rise in the years to come.The costliest rule was
issued by both the EPA and Department of Transportation, imposing new fuel
economy standards on U.S. automobiles. It's estimated to cost $10.8 billion
annually, potentially adding $1,800 to the price of a new car as
manufacturers spend more money to comply.Costing nearly as much was an EPA
rule requiring utilities and other fossil fuel plants to limit emissions
-- though part of that rule is still under review.Though environmental rules
were the costliest, Heritage found that the highest number of regulations
in 2012 were actually in the financial field as a result of
the "Dodd-Frank" financial industry overhaul passed by Congress.The Obama
administration acknowledges that EPA rules are the costliest of any agency.
But the administration claims those rules also come with the biggest benefits
-- benefits that far outweigh the costs.A report put out earlier this
year by the White House Office of Management and Bud
ddition to cash-strapped county coffers, especially in the Northwest.
In recent years, the law has acted as a subsidy for states
and counties hard hit by logging declines triggered by measures to protect
threatened species.Idaho's Valley County, for example, would have to return
more than $128,000 from its budget of $2.5 million for roads and
schools. That leaves Gordon Cruickshank, chairman of the Valley County commission,
in a no-win position. Should he forgo the repaving of even a
single mile of the county's 300 miles of paved roads, defer maintenance
on a bridge or lay off two county employees?"We are struggling really
hard now to figure out what to do," Cruickshank said. "It's a
tough pill to swallow that they sent these payments out just a
few months before sequestration, and now they want them back."The Forest
Service has paid billions of dollars to counties over the decades, but
the receipts dwindled as logging on national forests dropped precipitously
in the 1990s -- first in the Northwest to protect the northern
spotted owl and salmon, and then later across the country as concerns
grew over the impact of clear-cut logging on wildlife and clean water.In
2000, Wyden led the charge for a new law, called the Secure
Rural Schools Act, a way for the government to pay counties that
no longer could depend on revenue from logging in federal forests. But
the law has expired, and the last payments went out in January.
