And now Fincher has passed his “Sound Science” legislation (H.R. 1287) through the House of Representatives. Sounds good! But what does his sound science bill do? It prevents federal agencies from using science to protect public health, safety, and the environment.
This happens by setting up a series of procedural hurdles “that
would make science at federal agencies subject to endless challenges by special
interests that do not want to see agency regulations move forward.”
But why would Fincher want to hamstring scientists and
advance the causes of moneyed special interests? Dude, he’s a Republican!
