Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt said Tuesday the days of "political science" are over at the agency, announcing a new conflict of interest policy that prevents individuals sitting on EPA scientific boards from receiving grants from the agency.

Under the last three years of the Obama administration, members sitting on just three of the agency's scientific advisory boards received $77 million in EPA grants. Pruitt said individuals advising in policy and regulatory matters should be completely independent of the EPA.

"These federal advisory committees are very, very important to agencies and how they conduct their business in the rulemaking process," Pruitt said.

This is the sort of thing which will drain this part of the swamp. Kudos to Pruitt!

The tweets make great media shark bait to keep them distracted.

So long as he gets the job done I don't care if he does it leading a brass band, naked and covered in green jello down Broadway.
