Pesticide exec to lead regional EPA office

SEATTLE (AP) -- A woman largely unknown to environmental and business groups in Washington has been selected to lead the Environmental Protection Agency's regional office here.

Elin Miller, 46, will serve as regional administrator for the EPA's Region 10, which includes Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Idaho.

...

She worked as an executive at Dow Chemical from 1996 to 2004, overseeing public affairs and the global pest-management and Asia Pacific operations, according to an EPA news release. Miller most recently served as president of the North American arm of Arysta LifeScience, a Tokyo-based pesticide maker.

1. Dog bites man. I'm inured to it now.

Maybe that's why it took a page scandal for the country to pay attention again.

2. Shades of Tom DeLay. n/t

4. They mock our government and it's laws/regulations...n/t

8. Mocking is right

10. This government gives no respect, and therefore deserves no respect

Nothing but a bunch of whores, carpetbaggers, and thieves.

[Dover]

15. Bushco WANTS to undermine our belief in government

in order to destroy our way of life, ourlaws, Constitution and Bill of Rights and hand our disillusioned populace over to corporate rule.

5. Let no American breathe clean air

Is the W motto. How very sad that W and his groupies have chosen this avenue. Profits above safety.

[Frances]

6. I hope this appointment means that Maria Cantwell

will get a few more votes. I don't think Bush could make it any clearer that he sides with the gigantic corporations over the ordinary person.

[Estel]

7. Par for the course

The appointed Regional Administrator for EPA in Dallas is Mayor Richard Greene. He was the mayor of Arlington, Texas, who pushed the outrageous tax package through that financed the Texas Ranger's ballpark when BabyBush was part owner -- thus, making BabyBush very rich when he sold his share. Mr. Greene still insists on using the title "mayor"!! What this administration has done to the EPA is criminal -- among all its other crimes.

9. And your job, Ms. Fox, is to watch over this chicken coop

It's hard ... it's hard ... hard work!

11. Reprehensible.

As always.

14. Will Bush also be hiring a terrorist to operate Homeland Security?

Not that he doesn't have plenty on the payroll already.
