Spitzer goes after EPA

Spitzer better be a part of the next Dem administration!!!

Attorney General Eliot Spitzer of New York, a Democrat, demanded that the agency turn over all of its files on the investigations so he and officials in other states can proceed with the cases. Mr. Spitzer and other Northeast attorneys general have filed lawsuits against utilities that would force them to spend billions of dollars upgrading their pollution-control systems.

"I'm asking for information the E.P.A. has generated relating to violations of a law they unfortunately have chosen not to pursue," Mr. Spitzer said.

1. Eliot is going to run for Governor of NY...

The funny thing is, Pataki is already rolling over to him, saying that he'll step aside if Spitzer runs (and let Guiliani take his place as repug candidate for governor).

Eliot Spitzer is a great Dem!!!

2. Guiliani vs. Spitzer

That would be one hell of a fight.

6. I hope he goes straight for the top

Eliot Spitzer is a shining light to the future of the Democratic Party.

3. Finally, a Democrat who gets it.

Spitzer's response is the only correct response to the Republican's strategy of selective anarchy. Where Republicans withdraw or eliminate government investigations which affect their private crony groups, Democrats should counter-act by filling in the void the Republicans leave behind.

That is the only way to stop the Republicans from creating situations which are intended to be exploited by their cronies at the expense of the public. And it contrasts to the other moves that Democrats made in other events that occurred today.
