The summary below is from the Daily Grist. Click on link for the full
article in the NY Times. This is scarey!
HE'S ALL BUSINESS
President Bush is expected to nominate James Connaughton, a lawyer
who has represented General Electric and Atlantic Richfield in suits
against the U.S. EPA over Superfund cleanups, to head the White House
Council on Environmental Quality. He wants Linda Fisher, who leads
Monsanto's government affairs office, to be second-in-command at the
U.S. EPA. He has picked a ranching industry lobbyist, William Geary
Myers 3d, to be the chief lawyer at the U.S. Interior Department.
And, in case you've forgotten, Bush's choice for Interior deputy
secretary, the No. 2 position in the department, is mining industry
lobbyist J. Steven Griles. If the president gets his druthers, the
top enviro official at the U.S. Justice Department will be Thomas
Sansonetti, a Wyoming lawyer who specializes in minerals and energy
and is a member of the libertarian Federalist Society.
