The man has no shame and has permitted untold unnecessary environmental damage under his watch His deputy will likely continue more of the same. Surprised that Trump hasn't blamed Hillary Clinton or the Dems for this resignation. Hooray!

The Ex CEO Like Pruitt that have taken higher Salaries from Company's at the expense of the employees IE: Health insurance for their employees that a lot use to have provided by the company , life time employment and jobs. . He shows that they are entitled to anything they want.
