The myth of the envirocrat

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Bureaucrats have taken a bad rap in the last quarter century, a result of the anti-Washington movement begun a quarter century ago with the Reagan administration. Environmental agency personnel have come in for special scrutiny, whether deserved or not. Why are these "myths of the bureaucracy" so appealing to Americans? But more important, what do EPA and state environmental personnel actually think about their roles, powers, duties, prerogatives, and personal politics?
