On Scott Pruitt
Manage episode 226156683 series 2480166
Today we are discussing the head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt.
His tenure has been controversial. He has been in the news for potential ethics violations regarding airline fares. There have been odd details about personal security and a lack of transparency. Environmentalists have voiced concerns about policy process and changes that have occurred under his orders.
Pruitt is, by all accounts, deeply religious and in this episode we'll try to connect the dots between his faith and environmental policy.
