December
is a season of giving, and for PEER’s holiday cheer, Teresa Chambers
and her team of lawyers filed a 239-page petition citing more than 40
legal errors made by the judge who upheld Chief Chambers’ termination
this past fall.
Also on the gift list, the Food and Drug Administration, who received a
previously unpublished internal survey of potentially dangerous gaps in
the approval and marketing of prescription drugs.
With your support this holiday season, PEER will continue to spread
holiday cheer to all of those who have been naughty and nice. Make a
gift donation today to support those who protect our environment.
- Happy Holidays from the Folks at PEER
