Waxman Issues Subpoena for EPA

Posted by Michael Link on February 8, 2008 at 04:50 PM

Rep. Waxman, Chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committed, just issued a subpoena for a "key presentation [...] by EPA staff about California's regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles."

Apparently, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson disagreed with his staff over whether to grant the petition to California. And the EPA is refusing to give the Senate committee access to it.

TPM Muckraker notes that "the EPA is crying foul, fretful that the committee will turn the documents over to the 16 states and five environmental advocacy groups that are suing the agency over the decision."
