Remember the outrage over the Mineral Management Service, the little known - and now defunct - federal agency whose employees were literally sleeping with oil industry representatives and accepting bribes while failing to provide the oversight needed to protect our waters from environmental catastrophes, such as the BP oil spill?
Turns out, the Mineral Management Service isn't the only federal environmental agency that hasn't been doing its job. Consider the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District has joined 10 other water agencies and the city of Redlands in warning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that it will sue if it doesn't reverse its decision to expand critical habitat for a threatened fish along parts of the Santa Ana River.
The group says a final ruling in which the federal agency late last year deemed more than 9,300 acres in portions of creeks and rivers in San Bernardino and Riverside counties as critical habitat for the Santa Ana sucker will mean a loss of 125,800 acre-feet of San Bernardino mountain water each year. That could cost ratepayers more than $2.9 billion over 25 years for imported water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
