    Waxman is dead on. The EPA is being politically manipulated as many of our agencies are. Good staff in the ranks know the consequences of these decisions but are being ignored for more industry supportive positions posed by the Bush Administration appointees. There should be a full public process on this rule and it should be fonrt page news. Just because he is a lame duck president, doesn't mean he can't continue to do great damage to the cornerstone legistlation of our environmental protections like the Clean Air Act. I worked in the Blue Ridge Mountains from 200-2004and Bush's policy for neighboring coal fired plants degraded air over the mountains to such a degreee that summer views were impaired 80% of the time. Just ask the City of Asshville, how much air quality has improved with Bush's leadership...zilch!
