Watchdog: Penalties on corporate violators drop under Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The Trump administration has imposed fewer penalties on corporations that broke the law or violated regulations during President Trump’s first year in office, according to a watchdog group.
Public Citizen found that in 11 of 12 federal agencies, penalties against corporate violators dropped by at least 50 percent under the oversight of Trump-appointed officials, according to a a report obtained by The Hill.
The most significant impact was found at the Environmental Protection Agency, run by Scott Pruitt until earlier this month. The agency levied $1.5 billion in penalties against corporate violators last year, compared to $24 billion during President Obama’s final year in office, Public Citizen found.

Any Actual Business OWNER knows, it doesn't matter how many rules you post, list and have employees sign, an employee is gonna screwup every once-in-awhile.
Yes, a 'penalty' otherwise known as what they were ALREADY obligated to do under OSHA in the first fucking place.
