Mike Leavitt on PBS

Former Governor Leavitt answered questions about some of his early decisions at the EPA during an interview with PBS.
We’re moving forward on the most aggressive agenda for air quality improvement in the history of country — largest investment, biggest return thus far. We’re going to regulate mercury for the first time in our country’s history coming from power plants.
