One that may need correction: "Revoked rules that reduced the acceptable levels of arsenic in drinking water." This is straight out of the Dimocrat commercial: "Can I have some more arsenic in my drinking water mommy?" What the Administration did was request a review of an order that Clinton signed on the way out the door to see if it was setting the new level correctly. There were concerns that some towns in the west wouldn't be able to meet the new level and people would go back to well water which would actually increase their risk. That's right. Just reviewing a proposed regulation was portrayed as dumping arsenic into children's drinking water. Remember that the next time Dims say: "Oh, we're just to nice and polite to fight those nasty Republicans."

The review took place and the implementation was left unchanged. No rule was revoked or even changed.

I will research that. It was MY understanding that the stricter 'parts per million' that were to go into effect (via Clinton) were rescinded. NOT all the way back to where they had been initially, but to a lower, more manageable level. I live in the west (Oregon) and I remember the discussions on this point---but as I said earlier on this thread, I am not infallible and could be mistaken.
