A spokeswoman for former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy criticized new agency chief Scott Pruitt Monday for traveling too much to Oklahoma, even though McCarthy was known to travel every weekend to Boston during her time in the Obama administration.
“The American people aren’t paying taxes for part-time Cabinet officials,” Liz Purchia Gannon told reporters Monday, referring to a recent report showing that Pruitt stayed in his home state of Oklahoma on at least 43 of the 92 days in March, April and May.
Environmental Integrity Project, a watchdog group, obtained copies of his travel records showing that President Donald Trump’s EPA head splits time between Oklahoma and Washington, D.C. to visit his family.
EPA officials contend that Pruitt works long hours and can conduct his job from anywhere in the country.
