MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2002 Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Christie Whitman didn't benefit from a Superfund cleanup deal because she wasn't a member of the Bush administration when the agreement was made, her spokesperson told the Denver Post. Joe Martyak gave the paper an e-mail and an affidavit to support the claim. The documents show the deal to cap Citigroup's portion of cleanup funds to $7.2 million when the estimated cost was $35 million was concluded December 14, 2000. Whitman was picked to head the EPA December 23. Whitman has been accused of letting Citigroup pay less because her husband is an employee with financial holdings in the company. National ombudsman Robert Martin, a member of the Makah Nation of Washington, was investigating potential ties but quit in protest becuase Whitman transferred his office. Get the Story:
