if we can improve these three areas, we will make tremendous progress improving environmental protections and enhancing of economic growth. number one, we need to provide certainty to the states. when congress established the epa's authority, it intended states to be partners in our effort to protect the environment and public health. for example, the clean water act lays out the process by which states can take charge of their own pollution discharge elimination systems. the epa's recent approval of idaho's program is a great example of epa working cooperatively with states to provide them certainty with respect to water permitting. we are also collaborating with states to improve air quality. since march of 2017, epa has turned an average of one federal implementation plan into a state implementation plan each month. these actions provide states clarity and certainty as they strife to reduce air pollution. administrator pruitt was in regular contact with our state partners and eager to listen and address their concerns and i will do the same. i will also be visiting each epa region offi

the environmental protection agency has claimed in the past that, because the environmental protection agency is a health organization, it may use this statute to pay special hires, and the committee of appropriations has agreed to let them despite the authorizing committee's objection. originally, the environmental protection agency was granted only a handful of slots to fill with title 42 hires. that number has now increased to over 50. the cost to the taxpayers for these employees is tens of millions of dollars. this amendment would prevent the environmental protection agency from hiring any new employees under title 42 or transferring any current employees from the g.s. scale to title 42. it would not affect current employees being paid in this provision. this would give the committee on energy and commerce the authorizing committee the time it needs to address whether the e.p.a. truly deserves this special pay consideration. the government accountability office looked into the department of health and human service's abuse of title 42 several years ago and found problems with the

his record on issues such as access to health care, consumer and environmental protections and a free and open internet portend a rubberstamp for a conservative right-wing agenda that would move us backwards as a nation. at the same time, it is very concerning that he once served as the top deputy to in the investigations of president clinton has since rescinded a sitting president should not be investigated for allegations or on trial while he is in office and should not have to participate in this evil. kosovo legal proceedings until he leaves office. leading the investigation against president clinton throughout the investigations that is no coincidence there for the president who now appears all of these legal actions would nominate a judge who could shield him from those legal actions. perhaps the gravest concern is that of roe v. wade. they didn't protect just access to the safe and legal procedures for women in our country. it is affirmed the constitutional right to privacy. it recognizes all americans must be able to make their own personal health decisions based on their own

i think this guy has done in callable harm to environmental protection in this country. he has also ethically challenged. but the major concern that i have is that at a time when climate change is the great environmental crisis facing this planet, and just this week we have seen reports of community fall over america in the world, seeing the highest temperatures they've seen. we have an epa director who doesn't believe in climate change, let alone propose ideas to address the crisis. in my view pruitt has been nothing more than an agent for the fossil fuel industry. much more concerned about their profits than the needs of the american people. so i'm delighted that he's gone. and what we have got to do now is to see if we can get a handful of republican senators to understand the climate change is real, that environmental protection is enormously important for this country, and get them on board to demand trump a point an epa administrator to represents the american people and not just the fossil fuel industry. >> senator sanders, president trump has said that the acting

by president trump on twitter late this afternoon, he has accepted the resignation of his environmental protection agency administrator. scott pruit was under fire for months facing more than a dozen separate ethics investigations and not just activists calling for resignation but republican members of congress, as well. inside the administration, president trump was one of pruit's biggest supporters publicly defending him and tonight the president said pruit made the decision to step down because he didn't want to be a distraction. we begin with peter alexander at the white house. >> reporter: tonight for pruit, it's the political climate that got too hot facing legal and ethical scandals, one of the original trump cabinet picks is out. president trump tweeting i accepted the resignation of scott pruit adding scott did an outstanding job. a relaxed scott at the white house at the fourth of july picnic but under siege from at least 15 separate federal ethics inquiries many zeroing in on ex spending and a sound proof phone booth installed in his office. >> much of what has been targeted towards me

all around -- you look at basically any area of environmental protection. the administration, the one thing -- many people pointed this out. the one thing they are effective or efficient at doing and ruthlessly focused on is rolling back environmental regulation. they have to -- a lot of these are fought in court. we haven't seen the end result yet. they are moving through that process of rolling back a lot of environmental protections, going back to before the obama administration. >> obviously, the writing that won the pulitzer was for your work on endangered species. your writings that now species are endangered by humans. 66 million years ago, the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid. now it's humans doing the extincting, so to speak. tell us what that will mean. tell us what species and how at risk they are. >> the characteristic of our time is that many, many, many species across many, many, many different groups -- it's not even just confined to one group. it's across all groups. are endangered. you can look down the list. we don't have data on a

hice: the office of environmental justice, also known as o.e.j., was established within the environmental protection agency, the e.p.a. , in 1992 in order to assess environmental concerns with the potential of affecting disadvantaged communities. to bring about this goal, the o.e.j. set in motion the environmental justice small grants program in 1994. while this grants program initially sought to overcome environmental issues that could hurt underprivileged community, it has unfortunately devolved into a platform for political activism in addition to offering services typically powered by state and local governments. furthermore , in recent years, the environmental justice small grants program has been used for purposes entirely unrelated to the office of -- office's stated mission. examples would be funding educational programs on urban gardening, creating healthy environments for nail salons or the so-called negative consequences of automobile dendcy. while some of these projects may be commendable, the bulk are not within the zope of -- scope of the constitutional responsibilities delegated to th
