Lummis Applauds Resignation of Embattled Chemical Safety Board Chairman

Today, Chemical Safety Board Chairman Dr. Rafael Moure-Eraso announced his resignation amidst a flood of scandals, after being called on by Congress and President Obama to resign. U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis, Chairman of Oversight and Government Reform's Subcommittee on the Interior, issued the following statement in response:

"The Chemical Safety Board under the leadership of Dr. Moure-Eraso has been plagued with scandals, accusations and obviously bad management. The Chairman's decision to resign, at the request of both Congress and the president, is his one good decision after years of inefficient and scandalous management. We can only hope that the new leadership for the board will be able to dig this agency out from the ashes and return to work."
