Republican Sen. John McCain wants heads to roll at the Environmental Protection Agency over the toxic spill it caused last month.
In a heated exchange with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy at a hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, McCain tried to corner the agency chief on holding someone accountable for the spill.
The committee looked at the agency’s response to an Aug. 5 spill from an abandoned mine in Colorado that sent 3 million gallons of toxic sludge across the waterways of three states. The hearing was the second Wednesday where McCarthy had to defend her agency’s actions.
