We previously
posted that President
Barack Obama
nominated
Gina
McCarthy for the post of Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Given
the president’s recent reemphasis on climate
change, it makes sense that he might pick the director of EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation.
Emily
Badger at The Atlantic Cities
reminds us that McCarthy also had a connection to Mitt Romney.
She was involved in the Massachusetts
Office of Commonwealth Development, which promoted smart
growth in the state during Romney’s governorship. So while picking a
nominee with climate change credentials, he is also picking someone with a
background in smart growth and land use.
