The Cost Of Bush Administration's Environmental Policies
The Bush administration's failure to update penalties for illegal pollution will cost taxpayers at least $39 million.
"By failing to adequately enforce environmental laws and stalling mandatory increases in fines for violators, the Bush administration is shortchanging the environment twice," said U.S. PIRG Environmental Advocate Richard Caplan. "The administration not only requires fewer polluters to pay fines for illegal pollution, but it allows polluters who are fined to pay less."
