of extravagant spending by EPA's Scott Pruitt We need to see just how far this investigation goes. If it is found that Pruitt is guilty of the aforementioned abuses,he needs to be fired and made to reimburse the EPA and the government. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt routinely directed staffers to book expensive hotels, help him earn frequent flier miles and schedule meetings to align with his personal travel desires, a former top staffer told congressional investigators. Former EPA deputy chief of staff, Kevin Chmielewski also said Pruitt was aware of major raises given to other aides, rebutting Pruitt's account that he was unaware of the salary bumps. The allegations are laid out in a letter several Democratic members of Congress sent Pruitt and President Donald Trump on Thursday. The letter says the new information about how Pruitt has run the agency reveal actions that are "unethical and potentially illegal." Among the allegations: • Pruitt declined to use State Department-approved overseas hotels that already had security in place, preferring more expensive hotels with higher security costs. • Pruitt requested aides to schedule official business in cities he wanted to visit. • Pruitt directed staffers booking his travel on Delta to maximize his personal frequent flyer miles. • Pruitt used the agency's scheduling director as a "personal real estate representative." • Pruitt wanted staff to find reasons for him to visit his home state of Oklahoma. • Pruitt spent more than the $5,000 allowed by law to decorate his office, including refinishing an antique desk, buying a standing desk and paying leases for art on loan from the Smithsonian. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/12/politics/epa-scott-pruitt-travel-security-congress/index.html Or perhaps the alt-right will consider this fake news.
Probably some angry commie obama guy... Oh...he’s been with trump since the presidential campaign? Oops
A little more info on this joke a man.... The last few years have been grindingly tough for state government in Oklahoma as plunging oil prices decimated tax revenues, forcing agencies to lay off employees, shutter offices and scale back services. 48-year-old Pruitt has become known for an extraordinary talent for expanding his power and budget. But you wouldn't know that by looking at the office of Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to become director of the Environmental Protection Agency. While living in the same harsh fiscal climate and preaching small-government conservatism, Pruitt has managed to increase his office's expenses by 40 percent and add nearly 60 employees since taking over, creating a dynamo for legal attacks on the Obama administration and a launching pad for his political career.
