Senators Probe Departure of EPA Midwest Administrator."
... "The circumstances surrounding the resignation of Mary Gade, formerly
the U.S. [United States] EPA's [Environmental Protection Agency's]
regional administrator for the Midwest, are under investigation by an environmental
committee of the U.S. Senate." ... "On May 2, the "Chicago Tribune" reported
that two top aides to Johnson demanded that Gade resign or be fired by
June 1, 2008. She has since submitted her resignation and is currently
on administrative leave." ... "According to the Tribune's story, Gade believed
her forced resignation was due to her efforts to push Dow Chemical Company
to clean up dioxin contamination in Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron stemming
from its Midland, Michigan chemical manufacturing plant. Dioxin is a known
carcinogen." ... "The paper also reported that officials from Dow Chemical
had met with EPA officials in Washington in January 2008 because they were
unhappy with Gade's approach, and that Gade's handling of this issue became
the subject of criticism from her superiors in Washington." ... "On January
4, 2008, Gade terminated negotiations with Dow Chemical aimed at a settlement
to conduct a study and interim cleanup actions for dioxin contamination
along the Tittabawassee River system, the Saginaw River and the Saginaw
Bay. The negotiations under the Superfund Act began in October 2007 with
the participation of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality."
... ""I am extremely disappointed with this outcome," said Gade on January
4. "EPA approached negotiations with high hopes and realistic expectations.
Our team put in many long hours of good faith efforts that came to an unfortunate
end today. EPA is now reviewing its options for ensuring that dioxin contamination
in the river system and the Midland area can be fully addressed."" ...
"An environmental attorney, Gade was appointed regional administrator of
EPA Region 5 in October 2006 to oversee federal environmental programs
in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin."

- "McCain's
Convention Chair Worked for Burma's Military Junta."
... "John McCain's choice to manage the GOP convention this summer is lobbyist
Doug Goodyear, whose firm once represented Burma's repressive regime."
... "After [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] John McCain
nailed down the Republican nomination in March, his campaign began wrestling
with a sensitive personnel issue: who would manage this summer's GOP convention
in St. Paul, Minn. [Minnesota]? The campaign recently tapped Doug Goodyear
for the job, a veteran operative and Arizonan who was chosen for his "management
experience and expertise," according to McCain press secretary Jill Hazelbaker.
But some allies worry that Goodyear's selection could fuel perceptions
that McCain—who has portrayed himself as a crusader against special interests—is
surrounded by lobbyists. Goodyear is CEO of DCI Group, a consulting firm
that earned $3 million last year lobbying for ExxonMobil [oil corporation],
General Motors and other clients." ... "Potentially more problematic: the
firm was paid $348,000 in 2002 to represent Burma's military junta, which
had been strongly condemned by the State Department for its human-rights
record and remains in power today. Justice Department lobbying records
show DCI pushed to "begin a dialogue of political reconciliation" with
the regime. It also led a PR [public relations] campaign to burnish the
junta's image, drafting releases praising Burma's efforts to curb the drug
trade and denouncing "falsehoods" by the [Republican President] Bush administration
that the regime engaged in rape and other abuses. " -By

- "Congressman,
NTSB chairman clash on bridge investigation." ...
"A Democratic congressman on Wednesday urged the National Transportation
Safety Board to reverse its decision not to hold an interim public hearing
on last year's deadly bridge collapse in Minneapolis [Minnesota]." ...
""In the greater Minnesota area, there is huge skepticism about the objectivity
of the board in conducting this inquiry," [Minnesota Democratic Represenative]
Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn. [Democratic-Minnesota], told NTSB [National
Transportation Safety Board] chairman Mark Rosenker at a congressional
hearing. "And I'm not asking you, I'm telling you, that a public hearing
will dispel, go a long way to dispel, the questions raised and the lack
of trust in the board's actions."" ... "The board's three Republicans,
including Rosenker, voted against a public hearing, while the two Democratic
board members voted to hold one." ... "Oberstar, the chairman of the House
Transportation Committee, said at a subcommittee hearing Wednesday that
he's more concerned with a thorough investigation than a timely one." ...
"A final cause on the [August] Aug. 1 bridge collapse, which killed 13
people and injured 145, won't be determined until later this year. But
NTSB memos point to undersize steel plates and heavy loads of construction
materials as the likely cause of the deadly collapse. In January, Rosenker
called the undersized plates, known as gusset plates, "the critical factor"
in the bridge collapse." ... "That early pronouncement has angered some
Democrats, especially Oberstar, who has argued that it could commit the
board to conclusions that will be difficult to change in light of further
investigation. Meanwhile, the state's Republican governor, Tim Pawlenty,
has viewed it as some vindication because the initial focus by critics
had been on maintenance and upkeep." -By Frederic

May Rethink Greenspan's Hands-Off Approach Towards Bubbles."

took on almost $30 billion of Bear Stearns assets to rescue the firm, argued
two years ago for a larger role for asset prices in decision-making, and
there's no indication his views have changed." ... "For Fed policy makers,
``the consequences of their permissiveness have become so disastrous that
they simply can't keep singing the same old tune in public,'' said Tom
Schlesinger, executive director at the Financial Markets Center in Howardsville,
Virginia." ... "The collapse of the U.S. subprime-mortgage market has led

probe deepens." ... "The federal investigation into
the firing of nine U.S. attorneys could jolt the political landscape ahead
of the November [2008] elections, according to several people close to
the inquiry." ... "Washington’s attention has been diverted from the scandal
since the August resignation of Alberto Gonzales as attorney general, and
has focused instead on Democrats’ efforts to hold White House officials
in contempt for ignoring congressional subpoenas to testify on Capitol
Hill about the firings." ... "But recent behind-the-scenes activity in
several investigations suggests that the issue that roiled Congress in
2007 could re-emerge in the heat of the [2008] election year. Two inquiries
by the House and Senate ethics committees are examining whether several
congressional Republicans, including one running for the Senate this year,
improperly interfered with investigations." ... "As potent as the congressional
probes might be, they appear to be far narrower than a sprawling inquiry
launched by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG)
and the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)." ... "Investigators
from these offices have been questioning whether senior officials lied
to Congress, violated the criminal provisions in the Hatch Act, tampered
with witnesses preparing to testify to Congress, obstructed justice, took
improper political considerations into account during the hiring and firing
of U.S. attorneys and created widespread problems in the department’s Civil
Rights Division, according to several people familiar with the investigation."

refer findings to a U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia or a special
prosecutor, who could then pursue a criminal investigation." ... "[Former
New Mexico U.S. Attorney David] Iglesias’s case is in the crosshairs of

that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) pressured
him to accelerate an investigation of a Democratic politician in New Mexico
ahead of Wilson’s tight [2006] reelection bid. Iglesias said he did not
plan to bring charges before the November elections, and was fired in December
2006." ... "In a sign that the investigation has widened beyond the nine
fired attorneys, Justice last summer interviewed Thomas Heffelfinger, U.S.
attorney in Minnesota, who resigned before it was revealed that he was
targeted for dismissal." -By Manu Raju

Asks Court to Let Him Withdraw His Plea of Guilty."
... "Lawyers for [Idaho Republican] Senator Larry E. Craig filed court
papers yesterday asking that he be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea
to disorderly conduct in a Minnesota airport sex sting." ... "In an affidavit,
Mr. Craig said that he was “deeply panicked” in the aftermath of his arrest
June 11 on suspicion of soliciting a plainclothes officer in a men’s room
at [Minnesota's] Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and that, with
an Idaho newspaper already investigating his sexuality, he signed a guilty
plea on Aug. 1 to try to keep the arrest from being disclosed." ... "The
[police] officer said Mr. Craig had peeped into his stall, entered the
adjacent stall, touched the officer’s foot with his own and made hand signals
known to be silent code for soliciting sex in the restroom." -By
