After encountering Democratic opposition, former Ohio official Donald Schregardus has decided to withdraw his name from consideration for one of the government's top environmental jobs.
The White House lamented a decision by former Ohio official Donald Schregardus to withdraw his name from consideration for one of the administrations top environmental jobs after he encountered opposition from Democrats.
Schregardus asked President Bush in a letter to withdraw his name from consideration to the EPA's enforcement office after the nomination ran into opposition from several powerful Democratic senators. Senate Democrats rallied to oppose the nomination of Schregardus, citing what they described as his pro-industry acts while he headed the Ohio EPA.
