Thanks Zoe, I agree. The Senate confirmation hearings should probe Martin’s work with Accenture and ask him if he plans similar privatization and deregulation for DEP and environmental services.

Getzy – yes I clearly recall. In fact, I submitted testimony opposing the Whitman EPA confirmation, and I wrote an Op-Ed that ran in Star Ledger adn Tretnon Times that predicted it all! Aside from Bill Neil (formerly with Audubon) and Jeff Tittel, I was the lone critic at the time, may NJ ENGO’s supporting Whitman. We see a very similar dynamic – worse actually – shaping up right now with NJEF strongly providing political cover for Christie. Train wreck.
