Will Scott Pruitt, EPA nominee, defend the Chesapeake Bay cleanup efforts?

Jan 30, 2017 | CLA Publications |

Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma’s Republican attorney general and President Trump’s pick to run the EPA, seemed to embrace the bay cleanup effort. He said the agreement “should be commended and celebrated,” promising to enforce it and to preserve funding for federal bay efforts.

But then when asked if he would defend the bay watershed’s pollution limits in court, Mr. Pruitt only promised to “consult with the States and other interested stakeholders about the issues raised in such litigation.”
