From the Missoulian: " The change in White House administrations could mean more money for asbestos cleanup and health care in Libby, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may again consider an emergency declaration there.
"On Wednesday, Lisa Jackson - nominee to head EPA under an Obama presidency - told congressional lawmakers she would, if confirmed, visit Libby to meet with both EPA staffers and locals."
The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works held a confirmation hearing for Lisa P. Jackson, nominated to be Administrator of the EPA, yesterday. The hearing webpage includes the prepared testimony of Jackson, an archived webcast of the hearing, and statements from committee members.
