Hopeful Sign as Pollution Control Bill Moves Forward
Executive Editor Eugene J. Oyler notes hope that passage of a bill reconstituting the State Pollution Control Authority and strengthening its base is a sign the legislature will address pollution. He warns Senate resistance could dilute reforms and outlines key differences between House and Senate plans, including autonomous agency status, eight-member vs six district appointees, and broader ex officio seats. He calls the bill a long overdue step toward strict cleanups despite possible flaws.
