“We look forward to working with Steve Johnson. His appointment sends a positive signal to EPA employees; he’s the first of their ranks to take the reins at the agency. His long career at EPA is appreciated.”
“Right off the bat he has the opportunity, with the stroke of a pen, to finalize the long awaited Clean Air Interstate Rule and carry out the administration’s commitment to cleaning our air. It would be a remarkable and encouraging first accomplishment as our country’s chief environmentalist.”
