Did a google search on Ruckelshaus, prior to my initial post to you,via the news and the web and returned zip zero as far as him speaking out and being shocked about the GOP.
Thanks for the reply. Can't say I'm shocked that coal is an issue for the lefties in Seattle.
Please allow me to inject a little reality about Señor Rucklehaus and his record of success from a different POV :
DDT genocide instigator William Ruckelshaus urges GOP to surrender on climate
Posted on August 2, 2013 by Steve Milloy | 5 Comments
William Ruckelshaus’ anti-science DDT ban helped lead to the deaths of tens of millions in Africa — now he wants to do the same via energy bans.
It was, of course, then-Environmental Protection Agency administrator William Ruckelshaus who actually banned DDT after ignoring an EPA administrative law judge’s ruling that there was no evidence indicating that DDT posed any sort of threat to human health or the environment. Ruckleshaus never attended any of the agency’s hearings on DDT. He didn’t read the hearing transcripts and refused to explain his decision.
None of this is surprising given that, in a May 22, 1971, speech before the Wisconsin Audubon Society, Ruckleshaus said that EPA procedures had been streamlined so that DDT could be banned. Ruckleshaus was also a member of — and wrote fundraising letters for — the EDF.
The DDT ban solidified Ruckelshaus’ environmental credentials, which he has surfed to great success in business, including stints as CEO of Browning Ferris Industries and as a director of a number of other companies including Cummins Engine, Nordstrom, and Weyerhaeuser Company. Ruckelshaus currently is a principal in a Seattle, Wash., -based investment group called Madrona Venture Group.
