The AP reported the White House “says a top official with Mothers Against Drunk Driving who was selected to oversee a highway safety agency has withdrawn.” The Administration “said in April it intended to nominate Chuck Hurley to become the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.” Some environmental groups “had questioned Hurley’s commitment to tougher fuel efficiency requirements and his ties to automakers. MADD has received funding from several auto companies — including General Motors, Toyota, Ford and others.”
