In today’s Los Angeles Times, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson calls for House Republicans to end their “assault on our environmental laws.” She points out that since the beginning of the year, the Republican-majority house has averaged one vote per day on a bill to undermine the Environmental Protection Agency, including a bill last week Republicans pushed through that eliminates several pollution control requirements for industrial boilers and incinerators. “How we respond to this assault on our environmental and public health protections will mean the difference between sickness and health — in some cases, life and death — for hundreds of thousands of citizens,” Jackson writes.
