How to capitalize on fear
A bill introduced yesterday by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) would waive environmental laws during post-Katrina reconstruction. (NYT)
This is a few months on the heels of the passage of the Real ID Act, which exempts the Department of Homeland Security from federal environmental laws for border security activities. (Among other nasty things.)
It's a winning strategy, obviously. Why simply weaken our national commitment to a healthy environment law by law, when you could also try doing it region by region.
