 Marianne Horinko, high-ranking EPA official, steps down | By Amanda Griscom | Grist Magazine | Muckraker | 27 Apr 2004
Horinko served as the agency's acting administrator for four months after Whitman's departure from the top EPA spot and before Mike Leavitt's appointment as her replacement.
During Horinko's tenure, she quietly -- and by all accounts deferentially -- took a beating in what is known to be one of the most thankless jobs inside the Beltway.
Horinko's lack of knowledge in this area actually may have been appealing to her superiors and colleagues at the EPA, such as Jeffrey Holmstead, assistant EPA administrator for air and radiation, who is presumed to have had an industry-friendly agenda for NSR.
