Ethics, please
When I read the article in The Kansas City Star
about the ethical questions at EPA (7/8, “Couple’s EPA link provokes questions;
Husband is an administrator while his wife defends groups that his agency sues.
EPA sees no problem”) I wondered why this top job doesn’t deserve a full time
employee.
To recuse oneself from 10 to 15 matters at any one time seems to me to make the
job part time. EPA is a large organization, so there has to be a job where Bill
Rice, who leads the EPA’s Region 7, headquartered in Kansas City, Kan. and
overseeing St. Louis, could devote his full efforts to all of his
responsibilities.
