Albert Wynn (D-MD), who Democrats nominated Jan. 9 to chair a key House subcommittee with jurisdiction over EPA, is vowing to highlight the effect of the Bush administration's environmental policies on minority populations, which could renew debate over the agency's controversial 2005 decision to drop race as a factor in identifying communities disproportionately affected by pollution.
