Beyer On Departures Of Senior EPA Officials: "Pruitt Should Be The Next To Go"
Washington,
May 1, 2018
Rep. Don Beyer issued the following statement today after the resignations of EPA Senior Adviser Albert Kelly, who oversaw the Superfund program, and EPA security chief Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta: “Scott Pruitt should be the next to go. The exodus of Pruitt’s closest aides shows just how toxic his reign at EPA has become,” said Rep. Beyer. “Albert Kelly was never qualified to run Superfund, his banking ban was a huge red flag, and his resignation is a positive development. The EPA needs new leadership from public servants committed to its mission of protecting the environment and putting Americans’ public health first.” Reps. Beyer and Gerry Connolly requested an investigation by the EPA’s Inspector General of Albert Kelly’s hiring and work at the EPA one week ago. |
