Renee Cipriano is the former director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. She left the Illinois EPA in May 2005 after almost four years as director.〔"Gov. Blagojevich thanks IEPA Director Renee Cipriano for a job well done" - http://www.illinois.gov/PressReleases/PressReleasesListShow.cfm?RecNum=3954〕 Her successor is Douglas P. Scott. She is currently a lawyer at Schiff Hardin LLP.〔(http://www.schiffhardin.com/ReneeCipriano.htm )〕 A February 9, 2006 Chicago Tribune article written by Michael Hawthorne〔"EPA chief turns coal lobbyist." http://www.pilsenperro.org/coal/chitrib020906.pdf〕 raised the issue of Cipriano registering as a lobbyist for Ameren less than a year after leaving public office. The article cites a 2003 ethics law barring state employees from working for companies they formerly regulated for at least one year. However, the article also stated that an EPA spokeswoman argued "that the law doesn't apply to Cipriano's new job lobbying for a power company subject to scores of environmental regulations." Still, Cipriano has been the subject of much ridicule on the Web over the information contained in this article. ==Views on Product Regulations== Cipriano sees significant tension between federal and state product regulation, including those meant to protect the environment from contaminants that have been incorporated into products. She thinks〔"States and Local Governments Lead the Way on Product Content Regulation" - http://www.environmentalleader.com/2011/10/18/states-and-local-governments-lead-the-way-on-product-content-regulation/〕 the fact that states, not federal lawmakers, adopt and enforce most of these product regulations presents "great challenges," for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in particular. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Renee Cipriano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
