As Gina McCarthy prepares to take the floor for her hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee today, many media outlets have been reporting that she is likely to face heavy criticism from opponents of the EPA, using the hearing on her nomination as what a representative of the Natural Resources Defense Council called “an unfortunate proxy for criticism of EPA by the agency's most virulent critics.”
