EPA administrator Scott Pruitt is proposing another free pass to industrial polluters. This time he wants to allow coal utilities to write their own rules for how they manage their coal ash.
Yet again, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is out to please his industry allies at the expense of public health and the environment.

If that approach proves ineffective, however, the MDA may impose rules that limit cropland pollution of drinking water supplies.
Allegheny County Health Department must be more transparent and accountable to the residents of Allegheny County, not the industries that do us harm. Tell them to close the loopholes.
