"EPA Chief Voices Cautious Hope As Trump Inauguration Nears"

"Outgoing EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy sounded a note of hope Monday in response to concerns that US environmental policy could face upheaval as control shifts from a Democratic to Republican presidency.

She pointed to two key factors – the momentum of marketplace forces and the tendency of all Americans to support clean air and water – that could tilt the Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump toward a bit more continuity than many observers may be expecting.

'EPA's mission is a nonpartisan mission,' Ms. McCarthy said at an event hosted by The Christian Science Monitor. 'It's just about public health. People like clean air and clean water and healthy land.'"
