[Lisa] Jackson, 50, a chemical engineer by training and a mom of two teenagers, offered no reason for her resignation other than saying she’s ready for “new challenges, time with my family and new opportunities to make a difference.” She said she was leaving the EPA “confident the ship is sailing in the right direction.”
Actual reason:
This month, at the prodding of congressional Republicans, the EPA’s inspector general said he was opening an inquiry into Jackson’s use of a secondary e-mail account for official business.She said she had the account — named “Richard Windsor” after the name of her dog and her former home in Windsor Township, N.J. — because her public e-mail address was well known.
This is what we call a “stealth” catastrophic meltdown: Jackson’s ability to function in DC effectively cratered as soon as this came out, anyway. A pity that the Media won’t destroy this woman’s reputation for the way that she hypocritically contravened good-government transparency, but at least she’s going to be gone. And good riddance.

Al Gore next? Just kidding, he would not take the pay cut
She is evil and incompetent. Thank goodness for the later part.
I dunno, it’s hard to feel good about skins on the wall like this one, when you know that the replacement will most likely be worse. I mean, we’ll probably get the head of Earth First, or something.
