Morford: Why the EPA directors security now costs $2 million
The Environmental Protection Agency is expanding security for administrator Scott Pruitt, bringing the number of people guarding him to 30
a level of around-the-clock security no other EPA chief has ever received.'We have at least four to five times the number of [death] threats against Mr. Pruitt than we had against [Obamas EPA chief Gina] McCarthy.' - CNN
Do you think its because Pruitt is such a devoted environmental advocate? Because he so valiantly supports more vigilant restrictions on factory pollutants, harsher crackdowns on toxic scofflaws, stricter rules against dangerous chemicals and therefore various corporate CEOs spanning various noxious industries oil, coal, plastics, fertilizer, chemicals, flame retardants, asbestos, junk food, factory runoff, et. al. are downright furious to the point of threatening Pruitt with a violent and ruthless end?
Do you think he's receiving all those death threats because hes enthusiastically supporting Obamas excellent Clean Water Rule, a landmark piece of regulation from 2015 which gave the E.P.A. jurisdiction to supervise (read: clean up and protect) the water supply for 117 million Americans, by expanding the agencys reach over small waterways (lakes, ponds, streams) across the country?

Or maybe its because of Pruitts astute intelligence, his savvy recognition of the dangerously changing climate and his refusal to kowtow to the dying coal industry, as he instead promotes clean energy and supports the vigorous funding of real scientific research for the benefit of all America?
