IF A BIRD COULD FLIP THE BIRD
From Harper's Weekly update:
"Lawyers at the Environmental Protection Agency announced that they were dropping lawsuits against 50 power plants for violating the Clean Air Act, because newly weakened enforcement rules have undermined the cases; the Bush Administration previously had promised that the lawsuits would continue after the rules change. The state attorneys general of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, which are downwind from many of the plants, promised to sue the polluters directly."
