Shortly after President Trump’s appointee, Scott Pruitt, took over the EPA in 2017 he met with the chief executive of Pebble Limited Partnership, owned by Canada-based Northern Dynasty Minerals, and then just hours later rescinded the Obama administration directive to protect the sensitive wetland area from mining activities. Pruitt later backed off and sent the action for a fuller regulatory review — and then quit his job under a storm of criticism about ethical lapses.
If Scott Pruitt approved of this, you know it means an environmental disaster.
Governors – They are in engines to limit performance – Dunleavy and Palin come to mind everytime I have to deal with one. Marty, you have nailed it dead on once again. Thank you.

Once again, I learned about an important issue via GoComics. Trump creates so much chaos it is hard to keep track.
