Pruitt was Senator Inhofe’s boy and so is Wheeler. Inhofe owns both of these toadies lock-stock and barrel, just like Big Oil owns him.
Trump’s plan for the EPA was Inhofe’s plan first.
They intend to dramatically weaken the regulations put into place to keep our air and water clean.
They will also allow the fossil fuel industry to drill and mine on federal protected lands for profit.
Republican James Inhofe, the Senator from Oklahoma, is our problem.
