NCBA Calls on Senate to Confirm Pruitt as EPA Administrator

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association sent a letter to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works this week expressing strong support for the nomination of Scott Pruitt as the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator. NCBA President Tracy Brunner, said in the letter that Pruitt “led the fight to bring common sense back to environmental regulation.” NCBA has sued the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to block the Waters of the U.S. Rule, and is calling on Congress and the incoming administration to kill the regulation. Pruitt has also spent years attached to different lawsuits against the EPA, including its WOTUS rule, while serving as Oklahoma attorney general.
