EPA: Regional posts key as Obama admin reshapes agency (07/27/2009)

It’s a Greenwire article so a subscription is required. Here’s a snippet:

Region 6, Dallas

Territory: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

Issues: Clean air and toxic cleanup programs will be top priorities in what one source called the “heart of the petrochemical and oil and gas industries.” The region includes Houston and Dallas, both of which exceed EPA’s ozone standards.

Possible picks: John Hall, an industry lobbyist who has worked for Waste Management Inc. and a former head of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission; Al Armendariz, an engineering professor at Southern Methodist University; and Ron Curry, secretary of the New Mexico Environment Department.

    From from what you say, this John Hall is definitely a big fat NO! He's just going through the revolving door!

    If we want healthier air we need Dr. Al! John Hall is definitely a big NO! Ron Curry could be an insider tainted by being in government. I want someone new, fresh who is concerned about public health.
