Bush administration guts clean air rules for campaign contributors,
gives false information to Congress
The Bush administration has gone to great lengths, even so far as
giving false information to Congress, to gut a clean air regulation
opposed by electric utilities -- an industry that funneled $4.8
million into Bush’s 2000 campaign, according to a Public Citizen
report released today.
Documents and discussions with former U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) officials reveal that Bush appointees made untrue
statements to two Senate committees when asked if a weakened New
Source Review (NSR) rule was expected to jeopardize lawsuits against
electric utilities accused of modifying coal-fired plants in violation
of NSR.
