EPA says problems cited by Gingrich have been resolved
House Speaker Newt Gingrich has accused the EPA of bureaucracy yet officials say earlier criticisms, including Superfund and brown fields, are being addressed. The EPA recently moved 25,000 urban sites off the Superfund list and aims to revive contaminated city lands for industrial use, while Browner defends continuing cleanup and reform.

GOP bill would replace nutrition programs with block grants
The plan by Republicans on the House Economic and Educational Opportunities Committee would replace the national school lunch program and WIC with state block grants. States would not be required to follow federal guidelines and would set eligibility and benefits, risking gaps for low income children. The proposal also seeks to fold all food and nutrition programs into overarching state grants, with specific spending rules for meals and WIC-like services.
