DOT nominee opposed by safety, environmental advocates
Attorney Jeffrey Rosen’s nomination for deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is running into opposition from dozens of safety and environmental advocacy groups, who are urging senators on the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to reject his nomination.
“Placing Jeffrey A. Rosen in charge of day-to-day operations at the Department of Transportation would be disastrous for American families, who under his regime would face higher risks on the road and in the air, more limits on their access to the courts, and irrevocable harm to their natural environment,” the groups said in a letter (PDF) sent to lawmakers.
