Via an e-mail alert from the L.A. Times:
The Environmental Protection Agency will propose the nation's strictest-ever smog limits today, a move that would put Los Angeles, Chicago, their suburbs and much of the rest of the country in violation of federal air quality regulations.
The Agency will propose allowing a ground-level ozone concentration of between 60 and 70 parts per billion, down from the 75 parts per billion standard adopted under President Bush in 2008.
The proposed range was what scientists had recommended during the Bush administration. However, former President George W. Bush personally intervened and set the standard above what was advised after protests from electric utilities and other industries.

BushCo claimed to be environmentally responsible, and bamboozled enough gullible voters into believing them. Undoing their damage will take decades. Meanwhile the planet's health suffers because of their selfishly motivated decisions... and decrees.
At least this is another step in the right direction.
