"Trump To Tap Coal Lobbyist, Industry Attorney For Top EPA Posts"

"President Trump is expected to nominate a coal lobbyist and an energy industry attorney for a pair of key posts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Sources close to the administration said Andrew Wheeler, a Faegre Baker Daniels Consulting lobbyist whose clients include coal mining company Murray Energy Corp., is in line for deputy administrator.

Bill Wehrum, a Hunton & Williams attorney, is the likely nominee for assistant administrator for air and radiation, a position whose jurisdiction includes climate change programs."
