EPA administrator Lisa Jackson is one of the most dangerous bureaucrats in Washington--and that's saying a lot. Last winter Jackson's EPA declared carbon dioxide a public danger, setting the stage for the agency to regulate every part of our lives involving electricity or transportation, short of walking or bicycling.Jackson will travel to New York next week--presumably she is not getting there my muscle power. Politico has more:
As the Obama administration struggles to contain the massive oil spill threatening the Louisiana coast, one of its top environmental officials will be the featured attraction at a fundraiser for Senate Democrats next week in Manhattan, where donors are promised they can speak to her about their "issues of concern."From the EPA web site:
Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson, who served as chief of staff to former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, is listed as the main attraction at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee breakfast scheduled for June 4.
An email sent to potential donors and attendees by Rafi Jafri, who has raised money for Hillary Rodham Clinton and was a fundraiser for Corzine, said the event is being hosted by New Jersey p.r. man Michael Kempner.
White House officials didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The DSCC declined comment, and sources said Jafri has no official role with it.
The mission of EPA is to protect human health and to safeguard the natural environment -- air, water and land -- upon which life depends.Skip the fundraiser, Jackson. Protect the coast.
UPDATE May 26: Because the tar balls hit the fan, Jackson cancelled her fundraising appearance.
