EPA Continues to Serve as Industry Doormat  >:(

Outside interests' brisk takeover of the EPA continued Thursday as the Senate confirmed a controversial lobbyists' nomination and Scott Pruitt  unveiled his latest gift to industry. William Wehrum , whose past client list includes the American Petroleum Institute and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, will lead the Office of Air and Radiation following a party-line vote in the Senate Thursday.

The Bush White House withdrew Wehrum's nomination for the position in 2006, after it became clear the Senate would not confirm his nomination, and Wehrum went on to sue the EPA 31 times since 2008 to undermine the Clean Air Act.

Meanwhile, the EPA unveiled a proposal to rescind an Obama-era emissions rule on older trucks, which is backed by trucking groups and engine manufacturers. The rollback comes following a May meeting between Pruitt and a major manufacturer of truck equipment that would be negatively impacted by the rule.
