arrest in 1976."

W. Bush's $100,000 Club

Gov. George W. Bush's term in office follow parallel
themes: limiting liability for polluters, reducing
public input on regulatory decisions, allowing
'voluntary' instead of mandatory compliance with
environmental laws, and, allowing polluters to
design their own anti-pollution programs."
