Alanis Morissette’s Bid To Oust Griles

The Associated Press reports Alanis Morissette, Beastie Boy Mike D and producer Rick Rubin have joined environmental groups in an effort to oust the federal government’s national parks czar. In a letter posted on Morissette’s Web site, the artists claim that Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles is failing to properly oversee such national parks as Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. “He has been leading the efforts to drill for oil and gas on these public lands, and he’s been working to weaken the laws that protect the air,” the letter reads.
