Klobuchar calls for the EPA Administrator to resign

Posted at 2:26 PM on July 29, 2008 by Tom Scheck

WASHINGTON (AP) _ A trio of Senate Democrats is pressing EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson to resign, saying he has repeatedly succumbed to political pressure on decisions vital to protecting health and the environment.

Environment Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., also asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate whether Johnson made false statements when he told Congress that he alone decided California should not regulate motor vehicle greenhouse gases.
