Bush bypassing Senate to name conservative academic to post
Ron Brynaert
President Bush intends to bypass the Senate in order to name a "conservative academic" to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Wednesday's Wall Street Journal reports.........
................According to the paper, "Susan Dudley, the former head of regulatory studies at George Mason University's Mercatus Center, has generated opposition from environmentalists and liberal interest groups, who say she would carry out a pro-business agenda at the expense of public health and safety."
Saturday's LA Times noted that Dudley and two others that the president wishes to appoint "have ties to industries that face costly Environmental Protection Agency restrictions, and all three have previously bypassed or questioned the EPA's scientific process."............
...............In an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle, Jon Carroll writes that Dudley "is already on record as believing that the EPA rules are too strict.".......
it's NOT (really it's not) the fact ms dudley is a 'conservative'. it's the fact ms dudly MAY not be the RIGHT person for this job. the fact ms dudley MAY not really be concerned with the environment at all
