“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” - Sun Tzu
Shortly after his inauguration in 1981, Ronald Reagan nominated attorney and former member of the Colorado House of Representatives Anne Gorsuch to be Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). When the Senate unanimously confirmed her in May of that year, Gorsuch became the first woman to lead the agency.
Gorsuch set out to advance the Reagan agenda to reduce federal regulation and the size of government (sound familiar?). Her reign as EPA Administrator did not last long.
She quickly became embroiled in a variety of self-made controversies. Her effort to withhold cleanup funds under the new Superfund program from the Stringfellow Acid Pits site in California in order to hurt the Senate campaign of Democrat and former California Governor Jerry Brown was her ultimate undoing. As a result of the ensuing scandal, she became the first agency director in U.S. history to be cited for contempt of Congress. Gorsuch resigned in early March 1983 after 22 months in the role.
