Budget time is never for the faint of heart. After all, when you've set the budget, you have made manifest what you really intend to do. Thus, the unveiling of President Bush's budget for Fiscal Year 2003 generated some serious gnashing of teeth. It should not be a surprise that a very important environmental law was, once again, at stake. The particular law in question was the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, usually called CERCLA or Superfund. This law, passed in 1980, has been an object of vigorous debate for twenty-two years. President Bush has now made it clear that he, too, is happy to engage the game: Super-fund Superbowl XXII.
