But also she’s probably eligible for her pension.

So the decision wasn’t too hard.

Considering her ideology, it’s insane that she wasn’t ousted one hour after Pruitt first sat down in his new office. That’s one of the huge problems in this administration — too many leftovers from the Satanic Obama regime. They all needed to be walked to the door, carrying a brown file box of their personal stuff on Day One.

Let me guess, she retired.

Let me finish your thought:

She retired, and in a short while she'll be back as a consultant/contractor helping her friends still at the EPA block any reforms. All the while she'll be making big bucks paid for by our tax dollars.

I think it is Trump and Pruitts job to shut down the EPA, so she would be out of a job soon enough.

Leftists are ALWAYS ugly. Inside and out. Proof.

The truth is there is NO war on coal, there is NO economic crisis caused by environmental protection, and climate change IS caused by man’s activities,” Southerland wrote

Yeah yeah yeah, GET OUT!

(we're going to close it anyway)

The feminine qualities aren’t lost...they just osmose to Democrat men!

Sounds like swamp draining to me ...

[caww]

ROTFLOL...right!

When EPA started they actually did some good for the environment. Remember Love Canal and other sites. Then it became a supporter of junk science.

I worked in the coal industry. The truth is that there was a war on coal. I personally experienced it.

Excellent! Another #FakeScience hoaxer tucks tail and runs.

30 yrs on the job - what a waste of money paid to a woman who doesn’t use her brain very well, instead chooses to believe myths herself.

[RightGeek]

Boo Hoo girl is sad!

[lgjhn23]

This POS, and all those like her, should have been immediately terminated the day after the inauguration.

[RooRoobird20]

You know, we Freepers are not exaggerating when we say libtard women are b**t ugly. This EPA Nasty Woman proves once again we’re right.

Goodbye, you worthless overpaid government fascist! Your quitting your job is helping to make America great again.

[eyedigress]

Bitch be full of shit.

She took aim in particular at Trump's demand that two federal regulations be struck from the books for every new one added.

If it were me I'd make it 10:1

EPA has 2 spills in the same water area within a couple of years yet part of her opus includes this:

Their attack on environmental protections marks the “abandonment of the polluter pays principle that underlies all environmental statutes and regulations,” she said
