New EPA Administrator For Region 4
KENTUCKY...
President Barack Obama has selected DeKalb County District Attorney Gwen Keyes Fleming to lead the Environmental Protection Agency in the southeast.
EPA spokesman Carl Terry said Fleming has resigned as a prosecutor and will begin her new job Tuesday as administrator of EPA Region 4. Her office is responsible for environmental regulation in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said Fleming will take her post during a challenging time. It's now dealing with the aftermath of a massive oil spill along the Gulf Coast.
Fleming has been a prosecutor and administrator for 15 years.
