Robert C. Gombar was quoted in the March 6 issue of Employment Law360 in an article regarding President George W. Bush's recommended boost in funding for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. As former general counsel for the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, Mr. Gombar noted that the increase for 2009 will do little to help the agency which has lacked necessary funding for the past 30 years. "No matter what amount of money OSHA is given in the budget, it is not going to be enough," Mr. Gombar said.
