Law - More on: New Bush executive order gives the White House much greater control over the rules and guidance documents
Updating this ILB entry from Jan. 30th, which quoted a story in the NY Times that began:
President Bush has signed a directive that gives the White House much greater control over the rules and policy statements that the government develops to protect public health, safety, the environment, civil rights and privacy,Cindy Skrzycki, a regulatory columnist for Bloomberg News whose work appears weekly in The Washington Post has a long column today about how:
[t]he Bush administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress are fighting over who will have the most influence over writing rules on health and safety issues. While the dispute is not as dramatic as the ones over fired prosecutors and wartime surveillance, the stakes are high.
