Senate Republicans boycott vote on EPA nominee
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican lawmakers on Thursday boycotted a confirmation vote on President Barack Obama’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, saying they were “completely unsatisfied” with answers provided by Gina McCarthy on several topics.
David Vitter of Louisiana, the ranking Republican on the committee, told reporters the action did not have to do with McCarthy’s qualifications but with her refusal to answer questions about transparency within the agency.
