EPA chief gets kudos

The New York Times praises Lisa Jackson, the East Windsor resident who heads the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for hitting the ground running and beginning to reverse course on the Bush environmental legacy. Some New Jersey environmentalists had been critical of her when she was state environmental commissioner, with good reason, but she is off to a good start. Let’s hope that, with a stronger commitment from her boss (President Barack Obama seems more committed to environmental issues than Gov. Jon Corzine), she can continue to make real strides.
