Will Mary Nichols Head the White House’s “Green House”?

Los Angeles attorney Mary Nichols, who heads California's Air Resources Board, is being floated as a possible candidate to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President Barack Obama. Nichols has sharply criticized the EPA under President Bush over the last eight years for refusing to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, and for barring California and other states from enacting curbs on such gases from automobile tailpipes. What would be her priorities if she is indeed tapped to head the agency? We find out.

Mary Nichols, Los Angeles Attorney and Head of California’s Air Resources Board

Doing the Numbers: Exactly Where is $700 Billion Going?

The Treasury has already loaned out or committed $290 billion of the first half. Democrats are working on a bill they hope to pass this week that would devote another $25 billion to the beleaguered auto industry, with the specific intent of helping General Motors Corp. avoid bankruptcy. What about the rest of the funds? We follow the $700 billion money trail.
