Will The Administration and Congress Let The EPA Do It's Job?

link here to article

Scientists have learned that we would be healthier if the government standard for ozone in the air were set at a lower level. The EPA wants to enforce the standard recommended by the scientists. The usual suspects are arguing that the new standards will be expensive and that it will result in fewer jobs. Curiously, the only time that that we hear politicians talk about jobs is when they object to new environmental standards. They seem to prefer talking about the 2016 federal budget so that they can cut entitlements. In any case, this is another opportunity for the administration to show whether its commitment to public health is as strong as its commitment to winning the next election.
