This radical proposal is a 180-degree flip-flop from what the administration has been arguing in court. Instead of protecting public health, now EPA wants to protect the polluters. The proposal would completely sabotage clean-air law enforcement, and it would be open season for power plants to pollute even more than they do now. -John Walke

It's pretty clear this plan is out of bounds. It's also clear the regional directors found it to be extreme.

It was terse and highly effective, written for people without much time by a person who controls the purse strings for the Republican Party.
