BUSH V. CALIFORNIA. FBI Director Robert Mueller wasn't the only one revealing fishy and potentially illegal Administration blunders yesterday. Testifying before the Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works, Stephen L. Johnson, head of the EPA, declined to say whether the Transportation Department is lobbying against California's proposed guidelines for cutting automobile carbon emissions by 25 percent beginning in 2009. The San Jose Mercury News reports:
The auto industry is arguing for a single federal standard. That is the same case that Transportation Department officials sought to make when they contacted lawmakers' offices in early June, according to department documents released last month to Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Government Reform Committee.--Dana Goldstein
