Dourson wins key EPA vote; Dems say TSCA compromised

摘要

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee voted 11-10 to approve Michael Dourson as assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the Environmental Protection Agency. Dourson's nomination will now go before the full Senate. But Democrats on the committee said the party line vote had broader implications than just Dourson, saying it raised doubts about the implementation of last year's major overhaul of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
