The Obama administration's chief environmental watchdog, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, is stepping down after a nearly four-year tenure marked by high-profile brawls over global warming pollution, the Keystone XL oil pipeline, new controls on coal-fired plants and several other hot-button issues that affect the nation's economy and people's health.

Like others on this thread, I agree that her replacement will be far worse, if that is possible.
Excellent summation, however Congress has allowed the EPA to become judge, jury and executioner of our nation's business activity by their failure to excercise oversight under the Congressional Review Act.
DOJ gets most of the head lines for their selective use - or non use - of laws.
But the real scary department IMHO, freedom wise - is the EPA.
They have no legislative checks and are obviously on a mission
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the closest thing on Earth to eternal life is a government agency or program.
Absolutely...Many heads should roll over that debacle and I wouldn't be surprised if that's why she's leaving. Obama's praise for her says he knew all about it and probably condoned it.
Another non qualified affirmative action hire now can live off her government pension and the graft she accumulated in her 4 years (48 months) of government service for the rest of her life.
Cameron Davis maybe?
See post 17.
yikes! Wouldn’t that be the worst? I am near Sheboygan off Lake Michigan.

“The ship is sailing in the right direction” But the ship, like her head, is empty.
“Is she going to be replaced by Al Gore?”
You shouldn’t even be thinking that.
He’s probably under consideration for the job...
What email account did she use to send her resignation?
I think you nailed it.
I have some experience with Jackson from when she was the NJ DEP commissioner. She has a reputation amongst the Libs as an administrator who introduces many initiatives but is ineffective at actually getting them adopted into law. She was so inept, that I know of several NJ business groups that were sad to see her leave the DEP for the EPA job.
In the fall of 2009, a local elevator, located at least 5 miles from any house, was sited for multiple violations concerning ‘coarse particulate matter’. (Dust from a gravel drive way. Musta been an easy target to ‘use as an example’)
Experts fear radical Progressives will unleash waves of terror attacks on America in response to their Wallahs' decision.
Keep an eye on her bank account. She, no doubt, is the recipient of a HUGE payoff, courtesy of the taxpayers. Remember the Agriculture Secretary who ran the Pigford scam? She and her husband were rewarded bigtime. Just another exampe of Obama spreading the wealth around.
Wull, Humpy Dumpty New Year, cause we’re all gonna git humped, fer sure!!!
I'll bet this is why she's leaving; there's shady stuff in those accounts and she doesn't want to face Congress.
Like you, I hope they do the investigation anyway. She'll probably get "a concussion" too.
Shades of Gray linger, corruption begats corruption, CARB and the local vultures celebrate at the carcass of what once was a robust land, vibrant, full of promise , rich in resources and purpose too.. Wha’ happ’n *-? anybody gets the license number of that solar-power’d bus?
Today the sun is shining here for a couple days if we’re lucky.. but more wet is a’comin’. HaPPy NeW YeaR from one ol’ fart to another! (fart emission taxation is next, load up on carbon credits)
