EPA-visit I spent an hour at the EPA, talking to John Stassi. It was very interesting to see how the agency had evolved since its creation. Considering the plans rumored for the changes to New Zealand’s own institutional framework, and the Phase 2 changes proposed for the RMA, it seems appropriate to understand more about the challenges faced by the EPA, and how such an organisation might work in NZ.  John recommended a few books on topic. Thanks John.
