Bush's pick for EPA job is a lawyer for corporate polluters

George W. Bush wants to put yet another fox in charge of a henhouse.

His nominee to lead the EPA's enforcement division, Granta Nakayama, is a lawyer who works for some of the world's biggest polluters, including W.R. Grace, BP, Dow Chemical, and DuPont. [Read story.]

It appears, as always, that Bush wants to make life as easy as possible for his corporate bedpartners, and will simply overlook or deny the possibility of any dire consequences. You see, it would inconvenience them to have to comply with effective environmental standards.

We must not sit back and let them get away with trashing our planet and destroying our health for selfish and irresponsible corporate gain. To take part in Amnesty International's campaign for corporate accountability, click here.
