10 Ways Andrew Wheeler Has Decimated EPA Protections in Just One Year

Elliott Negin, senior writer | July 15, 2019, 9:30 am EST

On July 8, President Trump hosted a White House event to unabashedly tout his truly abysmal environmental record. The next day, coincidentally, marked the one-year anniversary of Andrew Wheeler at the helm of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), first as acting administrator and then as administrator after the Senate confirmed him in late February.

The good news, if there is any, is that Wheeler is an Eagle Scout compared to his ethically challenged predecessor, Scott Pruitt. The bad news is, as predicted, Wheeler has been more effective than Pruitt in rolling back and eliminating EPA safeguards.

My organization, the Union of Concerned Scientists, has compiled a list of 80 Trump administration attacks on science since taking office, and Wheeler has been the driving force behind many of them. Below are 10 of the more egregious ways he has undermined the EPA’s time-honored role to protect public health and the environment so far.

Re: “The good news, if there is any, is that Wheeler is an Eagle Scout compared to his ethically challenged predecessor, Scott Pruitt.”

That claim is total crap.

The Association of Republican State Attorney Generals - which includes every GOP AG in the country - elected Pruitt as their President two terms in a row.

But suddenly, when Pruitt gets to Washington D.C., he is hit by a landslide of ethics complaints from the Criminal Left.

The “bad news” is that no consequential Conservative will ever risk his reputation and his life savings to work for Donald Trump again.
