CSB Chair Defies GOP Lawmakers' Calls For His Ouster In Wake Of Controversy

Chemical Safety Board (CSB) Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso tells Inside OSHA Online he will defy vocal calls by a cluster of Republican lawmakers for President Obama to ask for his resignation just weeks after a House oversight committee hearing in which he took bipartisan fire over allegations of mismanagement and charges that he attempted to block an Office of Inspector General (OIG) probe of the board's operations -- with some going as far as to accuse him of trying to retaliate against a CSB whistleblower and deflect questions about the incident.
