Waxman to Interview EPA Administrator

Posted by Michael Link on January 14, 2008 at 04:09 PM

The EPA failed to meet their deadlines for handing over documents related to their rejection of California's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Congressman Waxman is on the case, seeking "transcribed interviews." And in the Senate, Senator Boxer will be holding hearings with EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson on January 24th where he'll try to explain himself.

Some background:

Late last year, Johnson, over the unanimous objection of his staff, arbitrarily denied California's petition to limit greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. He was even told that the EPA would lose the case if California sued -- which they did, as expected, along with fifteen other states.
