The Environmental Protection Agency took a victory lap Monday, releasing a report that highlights all of the agency’s accomplishments in 2018.“Over the past year, the Trump Administration has continued to deliver on its promise to provide greater regulatory certainty while protecting public health and the environment,” EPA Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a Monday statement (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2019-01/documents/epa_2018_yearinreview_0128-4.pdf).


Among the agency’s major achievements related to its deregulatory agenda. The EPA finalized 13 deregulatory actions in 2018 — averaging at a rate of at least one rule a month. The EPA has altogether finalized 33 deregulatory actions since President Donald Trump assumed office, saving American taxpayers nearly $2 billion in regulatory costs.
“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are providing states and the regulated community the certainty they need to advance new technologies, improve environmental protections, and enhance economic growth,” Wheeler continued in another statement.

Pruitt remains as Trump's best cabinet pick. By far. As Rand said, he was the most conservative member of Trump's administration. I'm looking forward to seeing where Pruitt ends up.
