Pruitt's resignation comes after dozens of scandals during his time as EPA chief, including at least 15 current and ongoing investigations.
Good riddance.
If we’re lucky we can get someone in there that can keep whittling that over bloated beaurocracy down till it functions for the people not against us.
Partial list of Pruitt scandals: —Used private and military aircraft for personal travel.
—Paid below-market rent to lobbyist for Capitol Hill apartment.
—Used agency aides to look for a job for his wife.
—Spent lavishly on office, pens, coins.
—- Pruitt had aides use their own credit cards when booking hotels … for him and refused to reimburse them.
He used his connections to help get his daughter into law school.
When he spent $105,000 on first-class flights in one year.
Also told staff to play up climate denial & ignore actual scientific data, ordered the EPA's climate change websites to go dark, bought some kind of hokey private "telephone booth", asked staff to make up reasons to travel to his desired destinations.
The guy was a festering corrupt boil.
