Enviro Group Slams Obama's EPA Pick

Only a few of Obama's cabinet nominations have received any criticism during this transition period; most have been fuss-free. But Lisa Jackson, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection since 2006 and Obama's pick to head the enervated Environmental Protection Agency, has been slammed by an environmental nonprofit called Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) that has blasted her in the toughest terms, calling her incompetent, weak, and unaccomplished.

PEER is run by a dude named Ruch who is BFF with Wolfe who is a disgruntle former NJDEP employee.

She is given very high marks from the Sierra Club and Environment New Jersey/NJPIRG who are legitimate environmental groups.

Morefrom Tittel from Sierra Club:

"Lisa Jackson would be an outstanding EPA administrator," said Jeff Tittel, director of the Sierra Club in New Jersey. "If you work on environmental issues in New Jersey, you get to work on more issues than probably any other state in the nation."

"She's been a real leader as far as clean air, clean water. She has said many times she understands firsthand the failure of government in dealing with climate change."

Mottola from Environmental New Jersey:

"She's just real. She'll always give you the straight deal. Whether it's something you want to hear or not," said Dena Mottola, executive director of Environment New Jersey.

Do not listen to Bill Wolfe or Jeff Ruch and their twisting of the facts.

Regardless of how PEER sees her she will be following the policies of the Obama Admin, she will NOT be free to operate independently and without over site as some of Booo$gCo's picks did.
