Demand a full investigation of the rot at the top of the EPA
The swamp is rising at the agency that protects America's clean air and water – and we have a chance to fix it.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is under massive pressure from both Republicans and Democrats to explain allegations of outrageous behavior.1 His alleged unethical conduct includes:
- Accepting an unbelievable $50/night room in a Washington luxury condo owned by a pair of married special interest lobbyists, even while one of them had business before the agency2 [SOURCE]
- Running the sirens on a government motorcade to make a fancy French dinner reservation on time3
- Using a clean water law loophole to dole out tens of thousands of dollars in extra pay to two of his favorite employees - even after the Trump Administration denied the original request4
Transparency protects our country from corruption. It's time to cut out the rot at the EPA.
Add your name while the pressure is on. Let's hold Pruitt accountable for his scandalous behavior.
