Boise, ID -- Today, amid a deluge of corruption scandals and serious questions about his abuse of taxpayer dollars, EPA administrator Scott Pruitt is visiting Boise, Idaho. Already, Pruitt spoke with KIDO Talk Radio host Kevin Miller about Pruitt’s long record of attacking clean air and water safeguards that protect the health of Idaho families.
In response, Sierra Club Idaho Chapter Director Zack Waterman released the following statement:
"It's important to remember today that while corporate polluters are causing harm to the health of Idaho's families and our clean air and water, Scott Pruitt is letting them off the hook while abusing taxpayer dollars and facing numerous corruption scandals. Idaho deserves an EPA administrator who will support our clean energy and outdoor economy, but Scott Pruitt is putting himself and corporate polluters ahead of our health and our wild places."
