Of course they will appeal, and they might win. However that doesn't take away from this major action. This goes against everything that was expected when George W. took office.

Jack Welch, who is enjoying his retirement on money that could clean up the river, urged his employees to vote for Bush. The take on it was that he would receive favorable handling of the issue from a Bush administration. Did anyone expect Whitman and Bush to support the cleanup? Hardly.

Naturally the battle still continues, but this is a major step!
