    Pruitt moves to shake up EPA advisory boards

    Scientists who receive grants from the Environmental Protection Agency will no longer be allowed to simultaneously serve on the agency's nearly two dozen advisory boards, an unprecedented directive EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said would increase the scientific integrity behind its rule-making."Whatever science that we are involved in here at the EPA shouldn't be political science," Pruitt told a group of reporters Tuesday. "We want to ensure that the American people have confidence ... in the process and that the advisers that we have in each of these respective capacities are providing independent, arms-length input to us as we make decisions."

    Makes sense, good move
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    It's a start, I suppose.

    I wonder if they got rid of the snowflakes and $#@! slingers (literally).

    The very thought that the same ones living off other people money get positions on boards deciding where that money goes should have been "unprecedented" but that's not how entitled progressive $#@! stains think.

    At least he's not adding to the problem. In fact, is moving in the opposite direction. That's a good thing.
