Sounds very anti-environment to me, but que surprise: Leavitt, if confirmed, would get a national platform from which to launch his concept of the "enlibra principles" of environmental management. The program, which Leavitt has championed to Congress and other governors, involves moving power to lower levels, separating policymaking from data gathering, using financial incentives rather than regulations and relying on cost-benefit analysis.
He'll convince people he's middle of the road when in fact his positions are pretty extreme.
