From Stateline.org:
State attorneys general, who this month attended their first meeting with new U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, say they are hopeful they can forge better relations with Washington, D.C., on environmental protection, sex offender policy and other subjects that became state-federal battlegrounds during the Bush administration.
In interviews with Stateline.org during and after their annual meeting in the nation’s capital March 2-4 — where Holder delivered a speech and fielded questions — state attorneys general of both parties said there were early signs that the Obama administration is working to improve relations in several areas of interest to the states.
