The U.S. EPA is continuing its push to weaken clean-air rules near national parks before President Bush leaves office, despite the objection of national-park advocates and many of the agency's own administrators, according to The Washington Post. The rule revision would change the way air pollution is measured near national parks, allowing large pollution spikes throughout the year as long as a source's average annual emissions were below a certain threshold.

The "Bush admin" problem is that the details probably (usually?) aren't as common-sensical as the summary and so must be read with care by (somewhat cynical) experts.
