Boxer says no more environment rollbacks By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Environmental rollbacks from the Bush administration "in the dead of the night" are history, the incoming head of the Senate environment committee declared Tuesday.

"That's over. We are going to bring these things into the light," Sen. Barbara Boxer D-Calif., said in a wide-ranging interview laying out her agenda with The Associated Press. She cited concerns about a host of new Bush administration rules on air, land and water quality.

Boxer expressed optimism that Congress could reach agreement with President Bush on a global warming bill, but acknowledged she might not get all she hopes for. Bush has opposed mandatory regulation of industrial carbon dioxide.

"I have no line in the sand. ... Even a little step will look like a big step," she said. "I very much want the environment to go back to being a nonpartisan issue."

1. Bring things into the light

You go, Sen. Boxer.

Shine the light on the corrupt repulicans who are destroying our natural capital
for their own selfish short-term megabucks profit.

There is nothing at all conservative about republicons. They are radicals out for their own selfish aims.

The future generations of children will thank you for exposing these planetary rapists.
