What the document says“EPA should build earnest relationships with state and local officials and assume a more supportive role”
The chapter says the agency should share resources and expertise with states, on the principle that the primary role in making environmental choices belongs to the people who live there. It lists this among six principles for restructuring the agency.
What the document actually says“EPA should build earnest relationships with state and local officials and assume a more supportive role”
The EPA should work closely with states and towns. It should help them rather than lead.
States also protect the environment. The book says they should lead. It says the EPA should help them instead of directing them.
