EPA Must Enforce Clean Air Act on DC Area

Let's hear it for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, who finally stood up and told the EPA and the local state governments that their so-called plan to reduce emmissions was hogwash and that they must cut the number of pollutants, period, without delay.

Now if we could just get rid of cigarette smoke in bars... ;)

Gee whiz! Now if you only knew someone who works for the EPA so you can tell him to enforce the order personally (or be in danger of being found in contempt of court).

:) If it's like the Agriculture cases I've worked on, a lot of the people inside the agencies don't really mind being told what to do---they've been wanting to do it anyway but never had the funds to do it, and a loss in a lawsuit actually helps them get money from Congress to do what they wanted. Often the lack of action comes from the absence of resources.

This is all personal and unofficial, of course.
