Shocker: EPA official leaves for environmental group | WashingtonExaminer.com
An Environmental Protection Agency
official has entered the revolving door of cronyism by leaving the
federal government to become an executive at a prominent environmental
group.
Lisa Garcia, former associate assistant administrator for
environmental justice at the EPA, will become Earthjustice’s new vice
president of litigation for health — a position created just for Garcia.
“In this role, Garcia will chart Earthjustice's course in
groundbreaking and high-impact litigation to protect communities and
families from the wide range of pollution issues that confront them on a
daily basis,” the organization said in a press release.
“Tens of thousands of Americans die every year because of dirty air;
hundreds of thousands more land in hospital emergency rooms because of
asthma attacks and respiratory disease.”
