Official documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon contradict claims made by a House Democrat alleging he and his staff were "blocked" last week from attending a summit on chemicals hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Rep. Dan Kildee (D.), who represents the city of Flint, Mich., and its surrounding areas, sent a letter on Thursday to EPA Inspector General Arthur Elkins accusing the EPA of wrongdoing in regards to the National Leadership Summit on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
The summit, which convened state and federal regulatory officials to discuss how efforts at identifying and responding to PFAS—a class of potentially harmful man-made chemicals found in thousands of consumer products—could be improved, got off to a rough start when some media outlets, such as the Associated Press, were reportedly barred from attending.
In his letter, Kildee alleged the EPA attempted to restrict access to the summit for media outlets and members of Congress and asked the inspector general to conduct a formal investigation to determine if any federal laws "concerning open meetings and transparency" were violated by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and his staff.

Dumbocrats lie just for the sake of lying
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a democrat alive who doesn't lie constantly. The only thing they didn't lie about is when they self described as nasty. Lying is all the filth excels at. All democrats are nasty gross worthless liars. None have and nor will none ever serve any positive purpose in society.
ReplyDeleteThat guy Kildee is just a Democrat doing what Democrats do best, lie about everything.
ReplyDeleteLocal Liberal papers will only report on his complaint, not the fact that he was pulling it out of thin air.
