NEW YORK — Lisa P. Jackson is stepping down as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency after a four-year tenure that began with high hopes of sweeping action to address climate change and other environmental ills but ended with a series of rear-guard actions to defend the agency against challenges from industry, Republicans in Congress, and, at times, the Obama White House.
Jackson, 50, told President Obama shortly after his reelection in November that she wanted to leave the administration early next year. She informed the EPA staff of her decision Thursday morning and issued a brief statement saying that she was confident ‘‘the ship is sailing in the right direction.’’

Obama promised the country the "most transparent" administration ever, and here we have another rat, just like Hilllary, scampering off the Obama ship steps ahead of a controvery over secret dealings and deception. And do you think Eric Holder will ge tout before Fast&Furious finally get to him? What a bunch! May their just deserts fully haunt them.
Most Freedom of Information Acts delayed and denied ever!

Long overdue. She won't be missed.
anyone seen Hillary?
She's playing the "Hide and Seek" game.
What's "Global Warming" eliminator Ed Markey going to do now without fellow "Global Warming" eliminator and job killer, Lisa Jackson? ..And none of this "personal reasons" for her resigning. It's the investigation into her secondary e-mail account.
