make a statement like

Pruitt is a grifter, corruptable and contemptous of the taxpayer’s money he so gleefully wastes. Good riddance.

explain your reason why otherwise it is just a statement of attack and should be just ignored. what is your reasoning’

the way I understand it he was placed in the EPA to tame it and remove bureaucratic regulation that has been used by the left to hamstring smaller businesses in the area of competition.

you implied corruption/ Did he take a bribe, did he steal from the fedral government.

Well, I have read that Pruitt drew controversy in the late summer and fall of 2017 over his use of taxpayer funds.

Unlike his predecessors, Pruitt has, as EPA head, regularly flown first or business class on commercial airlines, as well as chartered private jets and military planes at exorbitant costs.

The cost of Pruitt’s seats on those flights are often several times higher than the seats for his accompanying staffers.

In September 2017, it was revealed that Pruitt had used at least $58,000 worth of noncommercial charter flights and military flights during his tenure, and when traveling on commercial airlines had opted for business or first class when those seats were available.

Pruitt’s aides had researched leasing a private jet on a monthly basis for Pruitt’s travel. The estimated cost of this would have been approximately $100,000 per month.

The aides evaluated such expenditures prior to the outbreak of a similar scandal regarding exorbitant travel costs by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, which later led to Price’s resignation.
