OSHA watchers in Washington lament the loss of one of the very few members of Congress with a serious interest in the agency – Lynn Woolsey, (D-Calif.), the ranking minority member of the House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Workforce Protection.
Woosley, 75, is a 10-term House representative from a district north of San Francisco that includes progressive Marin County (home of the Grateful Dead and many other artists) and parts of Sonoma County. She did not lose an election earlier this week; she is retiring.
