EPA Chief Wins Golden Padlock Award For Excessive Secrecy

Reprinted with permission from Alternet.

As a government official, Scott Pruitt does a stellar job at keeping secrets. So far, he’s evaded open record requestsabout his communications with the fossil fuel industry and has directed the EPA to wipe climate change datafrom its website.

Pruitt has become so adept at keeping the public in the dark that Investigative Reporters and Editors, a grassroots group dedicated to improving the quality of investigative reporting, has awarded him the Golden Padlock Award, which recognizes “the most secretive publicly funded agency or person in the United States.”
