Today, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee Republicans released a new report, "EPA's Playbook Unveiled: A Story of Fraud, Deceit, and Secret Science," detailing convicted con artist and former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) senior official John Beale's role in major policy decisions at the Agency. Specifically, John Beale took ownership of the 1997 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone and Particulate Matter, the science behind which has led to a litany of new regulations now causing economic harms, including the closure of some coal plants. The calculations have been used to shut down certain plants and regulate many everyday economic activities.
