Bush Nominates Anti-Regulatory Zealot To Head ‘Super-Powerful’ Public Safety Office

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/07/06/susan-dudley/

President Bush is expected to nominate Susan Dudley as the next head of an obscure but “super-powerful office that oversees many business regulations.” The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs holds sway over federal regulatory agencies like the EPA and helps set regulatory policy for a wide range of issues, from workplace safety to water quality.

As the director of regulatory studies at the industry-backed Mercatus Center [Dudley] has worked to oppose vital public health regulation as a “hidden tax” that hinders profits.
