Senate Changes: Environment
I will be posting a few of these over the next several days.
With the United States Senate going to the Democrats, we are going to see wholesale changes in government policy.
First up: The Environment and Public Works Committee
Before November 7th, this was headed up by Seantor James Inhofe of Oklahoma who once said, "global warming is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people."
After November 7th, meet your new Chairperson, Senator Barbara Boxer
Remember that recently the State of California just passed sweeping environmental quality changes, and now Senator Boxer would like to see this legislation become a pattern for the nation.
The general public will now most likely regain access to the EPA's library collections.
The Endangered Species Act should also stand.
The Senator will very much lay out the groundwork for a green revolution in America, of course it will take some time due to the fact that Bush has two more years in office, however the table may be set nicely for 2008.
