Today, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) released the following statement on the resignation of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt:
"Environmental stewardship is not a part-time job -- it requires constant vigilance. The fact that EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt actively did the opposite makes his resignation today a great day for salmon, clean air, and Mother Earth. I look forward to considering the nomination of an EPA Administrator who will respect taxpayer dollars and stand up for the environment."
