"Collins ‘Leaning Against’ Trump EPA Chemical Nominee"

"A third GOP senator says she's 'leaning against' approval of President Trump’s controversial nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) chemical safety office.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told reporters Thursday that she has not made a final decision on Michael Dourson’s nomination, but 'I think it’s safe to say that I am leaning against him.'

Collins’s doubts come a day after North Carolina GOP Sens. Thom Tillis and Richard Burr announced they would vote against Dourson to be the EPA’s assistant administrator for chemical safety and pollution prevention."
