About time. The EPA is a national disgrace.

I want anyone who has taken government money under the color of climate science to be put under oath and testify about their findings

“said Pruitt, a Republican lawyer “ When has the AP ever said “Democrat lawyer” in like fashion, ever? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Further...
But environmentalists worried that Pruitt will now select board members with financial ties to the fossil fuel and chemical industries.

This is a curious statement from the author, who seems to support the grant receiving members who believe they can be objective, while complaining industry representatives cannot.

Pruitt suggested many previously appointed to the panels were potentially biased because they had received federal research grants.

YES!! About time. The prog lefties have said for years that anybody paid by an energy company is biased and outright crooked. Obviously it's a two way street -- when your livelihood depends on government grants, you deliver the results your master expects. This is great news.

Pruitt used a story from the Book of Joshua to help explain the new policy.

On the journey to the promised land, “Joshua says to the people of Israel: choose this day whom you are going to serve,” Pruitt said. “This is sort of like the Joshua principle — that as it relates to grants from this agency, you are going to have to choose either service on the committee to provide counsel to us in an independent fashion or chose the grant. But you can’t do both. That’s the fair and great thing to do.”

Good. But the next president can easily undo all of this. Congress must pass legislation strictly limiting and defining the EPA’s powers, or this is all just temporary.

I’d be happier if the entire EPA itself was gutted, but I’ll take it.

People were biased because of their grants? No, that couldn’t happen. /s

Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) is trying hard to win the “Kaine/Warner Award” for the stupidest Senator now in office. His complaint against the EPA appointing new Board members is very similar to Marxist pronouncements on everything. “They’re getting rid of the experts and appointing people from Big Chemicals, Polluters, and Banks”.

The “experts” brought us the King Mine disaster. A real scientist, a geologist, warned against drilling test holes in the sides of the mines instead of taking samples of the water from above. You know what happened.

Some “experts” are just fakes and frauds, and the Obama administration was the home of too many of them.

Michael Biesecker is not a journalist and the AP is not a news organization. Rather both act as leftist shills who lard their articles with politically-inspired prejudice, innuendo and lies.
