With eight days left before the end of President Obama's first year in office, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2010, released her own State of the EPA address as a memorandum to EPA employees.

The memo revisits the priorities that Jackson enumerated upon entering office, and notes what direction the agency would like to go in each of these categories: climate change, air quality, chemical safety, water, environmental justice, and building stronger state and tribal relationships.
