Sierra Club: Pruitt will be “most dangerous EPA administrator in history”
Last week’s Senate approval of Scott Pruitt as head of the EPA was met with dismay by a number of environmental groups.
“Scott Pruitt is now set to be the most dangerous EPA Administrator in the history of our country,” said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune. “Pruitt has taken millions of dollars from corporate polluters, and has protected their interests at every turn - yet, he is now in charge of protecting our children from the dirty air and toxic water created by these very same polluters. Pruitt has a long record of ignoring science, assaulting public health safeguards, and holding the agency he now leads in contempt. His confirmation is an environmental and public health disaster.
