  Regulation with Politics is IMPOSSIBLE

  I work in a regulatory program that reports directly to the EPA. We have a joke, in our office, that the best way to make a problem go away is to report it to the EPA. We'll never hear about it again, and nothing will happen. It is also common knowledge that our direction will change every 4-8 years, so we can't ever see any long-term projects to their completion. It is pointless to argue about who should define Clean Air, when the person in charge of the EPA is always a political appointee with little or no experience neccesary. If you want to fix the problem, start there. After all, if the head of the EPA doesn't support the new definition of the NAAQS, they'll never make it into the regs. On EPA plan would give political officials more say over air-quality standards posted 3 years, 7 months ago 12 Responses
