Fifteen Scientists

Fifteen independent scientists, unaffiliated with industry payrolls, serve as scheduled expert witnesses for the White House's Polluter Pays hearing. Toby Ziegler cites them to counter corporate defenses from figures like Burt Gantz, emphasizing their credibility in exposing falsified pollution reports and advancing whistleblower protections. Their testimony bolsters the administration's push for stricter environmental accountability amid legislative maneuvering.
