If you're happy Pruitt is gone, thank the career staff who risked their careers and reputations

Rogue US Mint 🇺🇸, #AltGov Retweeted:

If you’re happy Pruitt is gone, please RT to thank the career staff who risked their careers and reputations to make sure reporters, Congress and ethics lawyers knew what was happening inside the agency.

I will make sure they see your RTs and words of gratitude.

...but nothing in my experience helps me comprehend the level of angst and dismay that I am certain many EPA civil servants felt under Pruitt's rule. Now, of course, it isn't all over yet, given the rise of Wheeler. But even that is likely to be an improvement. Those many of us across the USA who care about the environment as well as ethical, faithful, transparent government thank you, the EPA staffers who were instrumental in pushing this travesty of a human being out the door. The only easy thing about it might have been that you were dealing with another pollutant, this one a human.
