It’s time for EPA boss to go

March 13, 2008 by Joe Newman

I’m sure there’s more to come on how Environmental Protection Agency chief Stephen Johnson and the Bush administration have conspired to ignore a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that told the EPA to start doing something about greenhouse gas emissions. There’s enough evidence already to call for Johnson’s firing. Paul Kiel writes about Johnson on the TPMMuckraker as does Richard Simon in the L.A. Times. As of today, Public Citizen is calling for Johnson’s dismissal.

Write Congress and tell your representatives that it’s time for Johnson to go.

    I agree, he’s a hack. Even the recent measures passed were subpar (see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23587788/) How much effort would lowering the standard another 5% be? It’s just more shortcomings from a government that’s long come up short.

    Good post, thanks for it :)
