There is no way environmental protection can be done piecemeal as in state by state esp Many decisions can be made locally or on a state level or by groups of states working together. However most decisions will continue to be made by the feds. Bush isn't that much of a radical reformer and even if he was congress would probably stop him. You're kidding yourself.......the West is facing big environmental issues......smog from the big cities, drilling off the coast, water sharing the Colorado, logging etc. Already the states are at loggerheads with each other. Without the Fed umbrella, nothing in terms of the environment would ever get done......and, of course, that's what Bush hopes and wants. Its a veiled attempt to kill the EPA. That's a silly idea. There is no way that Bush kills the EPA or even make a serious attempt to do so. I'd bet that the EPAs budget increases every year while Bush is president. Silly? Once again because you say so does not make it true. Bush is no friend of the environment nor environmentalists. His record in TX was poor; its worse in the White House. His record is so bad......no Rep. wants to run for governor here......he/she knows that thanks to Bush, they will get trashed. And btw, the incumbent Dem governor isn't running. It should be the most level playing field in years but its not. Ditto for the Senate seat up for reelection next year.......the WH has worked diligently to get some of the prominent Reps. here to run but they have all politely declined. The environment is important in many parts of the country and the departure of C. Whitman was telling in terms of the direction Bush is going. Once again, he's trying to dismantle the EPA. There is enough evidence to prove that thesis. ted
