A lawsuit has been filed against the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for secretly allowing chemical companies exclusive power
over weakening environmental regulations. In 2000, under the new Bush
Administration, the EPA established the new "Endangered Species Task
Force." It has now been discovered that this powerful task force
is
comprised of only 14 members, and they are all agro-chemical companies.
Thanks to the private "consultation" meetings from these industry
groups, the EPA has announced new pesticide regulations that eliminate
certain endangered species protections.
