"At the same time [Mr. Pruitt] is making these comments, he's basically doing everything he can to gut the agency of quality personnel," said John O'Grady, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, which represents EPA workers. "They are basically going to break government and then somehow declare victory." I thought you guys might enjoy it. Pruitt also highlighted his intention to speed up permitting processes and transform the "bureaucratic" culture of the agency. https://www.wsi.com/artides/scott-pruitt-aims-to-accelerate-hi's-efforts-to-remake-the-epa-1516220866 Michael Abboud U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Public Affairs M: Ex. 6 Sierra Club v.
