Scott Pruitt Polluter in Chief


Scott Pruitt the flying EPA promoter of increasing pollution in our streams and waterways holds meetings behind closed doors barring reporters and the general public from his meetings. Clean potable water is everyones need and interest but Mr Pruitt finds that concept contrary to his and corporate needs. The public be damned and poisoned if need be, after all they're just the little people and therefore don't really count.

It's been reported that Pruitt has held at least 16 roundtable discussions with his allies and corporate pals to develop plans to weaken a federal rule that protects the drinking water of 117 million Americans. In an old Soviet style purge, Pruitt dismissed an independent EPA advisory board that found Obama Era water rules to be sound and I might add sane......they reduced water pollution. Pruitt's rollback of sound water management operates in the shadows of public scrutiny....public health be damned.
