First Thing We Do, Let's Kill All the . . . Taxonomists?

The beleaguered agency officials who administer the endangered species laws have been inundated with litigation challenging everything from the constitutionality of their statute to the soundness of their biological judgments. But recently, they are being challenged for relying on what they must have assumed to be an unimpeachable source of information--the classification of species by the official taxonomic organizations.

Corporate Environmental Disclosure Requirements

Publicly listed companies have been required to disclose "material" environmental information to investors for over 30 years. Environmental costs can be material when associated with air, groundwater, and waste site remediation, regulatory fines, and litigation that result in losses of millions of dollars, decreased shareholder value, and diminished corporate reputation.
