Concerns Over Pruitt's EPA Replacement

Description

A year ago, Andrew Wheeler worked as one of the coal industry’s most powerful lobbyists. On Monday, he'll take over at the Environmental Protection Agency. According to the Huffington Post, Wheeler's ascension comes after Administrator Scott Pruitt’s sudden resignation Thursday amid a five-month avalanche of ethics and legal controversies. But critics are saying that while Wheeler is skilled at behind-the-scenes machinations and can speak the rhetoric of the Beltway, that's precisely why he's so dangerous. One EPA staffer who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “No one feels great about Wheeler, but no one thinks he will be as corrupt or disrespectful as Pruitt." However, the staffer said Wheeler “doesn’t seem the leader type” and described him as “really awkward.”
