BUSH ADMINISTRATION SEEKS TO CUT BACK RIGHT-TO-KNOW LAWS

http://www.ombwatch.org/article/articleview/3169/1/1?TopicID=1

Due to a proposed rewriting of the nation's environmental

right-to-know law, thousands of communities stand to lose access to

information on toxic chemicals that are released into their

neighborhoods. The Bush administration wants to gut the national

Toxics Release Inventory, which for the past two decades has

reported " which industrial plants emit the most toxic substances,

whether their emissions are increasing and what compounds may be

contaminating their air and water, " according to the Los Angeles

Times. The public interest group OMB Watch has a Resource Center for

concerned groups and individuals to learn more about the program.
