Pruitt: Scientists receiving federal grants will be cut from EPA advising roles

[dennishoddy]

Let's not forget the entire "sue and settle" program at the EPA. This is when the EPA coordinated with various groups to forward a suit against the agency after determining the desired outcome. The EPA then settled with the courts blessing to the pre-negoiated outcome. All to avoid the rule making authority of Congress and corrupt the input process from other "less desirable" stakeholders, like the public, or the states where the new rules would have the greatest impact.

"See, the courts are making us do this, it's not what we would have wanted....."

Talk about an unreported travesty of justice against the nation.

That's exactly why Pruitt is dismantling the bureaucracy of the EPA. Draining the swamp may be a better phrase.
