The Senate narrowly turned back a challenge to the Bush administration's strategy on mercury pollution Tuesday, leaving
intact federal rules that give power plants flexibility in how they reduce emissions of the dangerous toxin. With a
51-47 vote, the Senate defeated a resolution to void Environmental Protection Agency rules finalized last March. The Democrats
and nine Republicans who supported the repeal contended the EPA approach was too slow and too weak in dealing with a pollutant
that can cause serious neurological damage to newborn and young children... the EPA rules ... don't begin
to cut emissions until 2018 and will not reach the goal of 70 percent reductions until 2030. [Vote #225, S.J.Res. 20]
Santorum has acknowledged that his legislation [that would include dismantling the NWS website] could
help protect jobs at private weather firms -- including at least 14 in Pennsylvania, according to his staff -- but said its
larger purpose was to make sure that the weather service focused on its key mission of warning citizens about the most severe
weather. Santorum has received at least $7,000 from employees of AccuWeather, based in State College, Pa., according to Federal Election Commission reports.
