Better late than never: Texas Monthly does the Perry vs EPA story

TM’s Nate Blakeslee gets the assignment to track down how Rick Perry runs against those crazy environmentalists and EPA the way George Wallace ran against those crazy civil rights marchers and the Justice Department. He can’t quite bring himself to mention Downwinders’ name when establishing Region 6 EPA Administrator Al Armendariz’ credentials but we’re represented nonetheless as, “a citizens’ group that won a judgment against one of the many cement manufacturing companies south of Dallas, which have long contributed to the Metroplex’s intractable air pollution problems.” Nothing much new here, especially for those of us living this story, but it’s good to see Perry’s disastrous run for the Presidency have some decent side-effects like coverage of his anti-environmental stances.
