EPA, do you know where your grants are?

Additional grants (possibly as much $647,000) to Peter Gleick’s Pacific Institute seem to have disappeared from the EPA Grants Database.

A source tells us:

I do government work as you probably know. That means I know how to search the system.

I followed your link to his article on the EPA scrubbing its website of his grants. Since he got a screenshot I was able to look at it and then do some sleuthing. Here is what I found.

I did a search on their Dun and Bradstreet Number (DUNS), which is a requirement for them to have in order to get federal dollars…

I did a search of federal contracts and grants. Here is what I found.

They got $647,000 dollars in two grants from the EPA. The details are in this screen shot.

The screen shot is below.

We broke the news of $468,675 worth of EPA grants to Gleick on Wednesday.

By Thursday, the EPA had deleted those grants from its Grants Database.

The screen shot provides evidence of a $647,000 grant in 2007 to the Pacific Institute that wasn’t there when we first checked on Wednesday.

Now it could be that the $468,675 in grants we reported on Wednesday are the same as the $447,350 shown in the screen shot. But this wouldn’t seem to be the case as the $468,675 worth of grants were from years other than 2007 (as we recall).

So it seems that EPA has scrubbed a total of $1,584,350 worth of grants to Gleick’s Pacific Institute from its Grants Database.

If we are wrong EPA, please show us ASAP. We filed a FOIA request with the EPA yesterday.

After obama is defeated phase two is to clean house at EPA and other government agencies infested with idealogical socialists democrats. Those found making and pushing public policy based on false and unverified data such as the AGW/IPCC CO2 scam data will be held accountable including jail time for those that commited a fraud.

Explain to me again why the EPA or any of those other Federal alphabet soup Leftie-dominated agencies (regardless of who is Prez) should exist at all????

It's not the crime, it's the cover-up. Richard Nixon learned that lesson.

The goal should not be to reform the agencies. It should be to eliminate those agencies. Big government is a threat to freedom no matter who is in charge.

Big government is a threat to freedom no matter who is in charge.

Well said.

Do you remember how they screamed like stuck pigs when Bush moved to let go several US attorney generals? The Dems screamed it was politics, even though Clinton had fired all of GB Seniors appointees.

If we get obama out, our new president needs to be strong and ignore the screams and gnashing of teeth of the lefty anti-American propaganda outlets. Do what is right and let the chips fall where they land.

The federal employment ranks needs to be slashed by more than half, and the remaining average income should be brought to below the average national wages for like type jobs. The State Department needs to be flushed and reloaded with more patriotic Americans. Hire a bunch of graduates from Hilsdale and Patric Henry.

The crooks are crawling about the weed beds. Hopefully the FBI will not be hampered in doing it's duty for a fair investigation.

This is insane.

That he was gov funded in the first place - then - covering up?

It is beyond sickening. Although kind of funny. Heartland’s whole budget - from all of “BIG OIL” etc - was about 4X what this pathological liar got from the feds - by himself.
