The article focuses on appointment of New Jersey governor Christie Todd Whitman as administrator of Environmental Protection Agency, United States. A little digging would have revealed that Whitman has been an unmitigated disaster for New Jersey's environmental protection. Under her governance, fines of air and water polluters have plummeted 70 percent. Thanks to Whitman's evisceration of state enviro regs as well as a rail of subsidies and tax cuts to developers, suburban sprawl gobbled up more open space and verdant land during her tenure than at any other period in New Jersey's history.
