TPM:
The EPA's catch-us-if-you-can game with Congress is not the norm, Senate environmental committee Chair Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said in kicking off this morning's hearing (airing on C-Span), declaring, "In all my years in the House and the Senate, I've never seen such disregard and disrespect.... I've never seen anything like it."
She went on to describe what her staff had to do to actually take notes on the EPA staff's recommendation on California's greenhouse gas waiver, even producing a visual aid. The documents with "sensitive" information on them had been covered with white tape, she said, and her staff had to pull it off to see -- a task which took 5 1/2 hours to review 46 pages (read what they said here). She produced a visual aid, a heap of the tape; saying "this is what they did to us."
