The Texas Legacy
It's a documented fact that Texas has one of the worst air qualities in the nation as a result of George W. Bush's doctrine of leniency towards industry's dirty little habit of polluting. Texas's air quality is the direct result of Bush's permission to let industry clean up its polluting practices voluntarily.
And from those who know:
A rule change genuinely designed to reduce pollution while increasing industrial efficiency would not be announced late on a Friday afternoon. One that betrays a long, bipartisan legacy of improved air and water quality would be.
