Senators voted 52-47 on Thursday to confirm Wheeler, who was nominated by President Donald Trump after former administrator Scott Pruitt resigned under pressure last year.
Republican Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, chairman of the Senate environment committee, called Wheeler"uniquely qualified" and said the EPA under Wheeler is putting forward proposals that"both protect our environment and allow the country's economy to flourish." But Democratic Sen. Tom Udall of New Mexico said Wheeler was"nominated to unravel and undo the environmental protections that are now in place."
hoooray!!!!!
I don't see a problem with a more socialistic distribution of wealth, in view of what has been going on since Ronald Reagan, and by the admission from many of our nation's wealthiest who say they SHOULD pay more taxes. Capitalism now selectively rewards itself at the cost of all.
