Anne Gorsuch Burford.
Anne
Irene McGill Gorsuch Burford (April 21, 1942 – July 18, 2004), also
known as Anne M. Gorsuch (/ˈɡɔːrsətʃ/), was an American attorney and
politician. Between 1981 and 1983, while known as Anne M. Gorsuch, she
served under President Ronald Reagan as the first female Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Gorsuch based her administration of the EPA on the New Federalism approach of downsizing federal agencies by delegating their functions and services to the individual states. She believed that the EPA was over-regulating business and that the agency was too large and not cost-effective. During her 22 months as agency head, she cut the budget of the EPA by 22%, reduced the number of cases filed against polluters, relaxed Clean Air Act regulations, and facilitated the spraying of restricted-use pesticides. She cut the total number of agency employees, and hired staff from the industries they were supposed to be regulating. Environmentalists contended that her policies were designed to placate polluters, and accused her of trying to dismantle the agency.
What kind of U.S. Supreme Court Justice will her reactionary son make?
