Former Obama EPA-er: "in the Obama administration, the trains no longer run on time"; also did you know that the new warmist EPA chief has a bachelor’s degree in social anthropology?

Politics and progress: Will the White House stall its own climate change plans? - The Hill's Congress Blog
...in the Obama administration, the trains no longer run on time. Of the 136 draft rules under review at OIRA, 72 have been held up for longer than the 90-day limit.
...the new Administrator has secret weapon you might not know about: a bachelor’s degree in social anthropology. The study of human organizations, she once told me, had proved essential at all levels of her career. It taught her to intuit the interests of other people and locate the center of an institution’s decision-making power. In fighting for the climate, Administrator McCarthy will need to draw heavily on those skills again.
