It's even worse: the chemical companies also get to dictate what science is allowed to be considered. [VIDEO] (this whole video is a gem, but ~13:30 is the relevant bit)

It seems to me that the EPA has been totally captured by corporate interests. It's hard to listen to stories about decisions they've made, for example approving Atrazine[0] despite the protests of the scientific advisors, and have any confidence that they'll actually make a meaningful impact.
