Judge halts plan to move EPA ombudsman office
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Bush administration from moving the Environmental Protection Agency’s hazardous waste ombudsman into the Inspector General’s Office. The order lasts until February 26, pending a full hearing. Robert Martin, who handles citizen waste and Superfund complaints, argues the move would undermine his independence within EPA. The agency denies intent to weaken his role, citing an GAO report and the ombudsman’s own statements.
