Synopsis

This book explores the relationship between the United States federal government and state governments in the context of environmental statutes and regulations. It examines the Clean Water Act and the Superfund program and explores alternative approaches to environmental protection that create a safer, healthier environment in a more cost-effective manner. The book discusses current environmental laws and the challenges they present at the state and local levels while providing examples of effective and efficient strategies for environmental protection. It also examines the debate on unfunded mandates, state flexibility, and priority setting for environmental statutes within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The author presents the perspectives of state governors and their concerns regarding the imbalance of power between the federal government and state governments and advocates for changes that promote a more collaborative and effective approach to environmental protection.
