We wondered if the fact that Republican members of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee on
Tuesday released
(without recommendation) Gov. Tom Wolf’s nomination of John Quigley to serve as Secretary
of the Environmental Protection Agency was as a sign of some level of

But the gesture didn’t amount to a hill of beans today as the full Senate voted
44-4 to approve Quigley’s nomination.
