Acting EPA chief bolsters staff about new approach
Andrew Wheeler, the new acting chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, signaled a more inclusive approach at the agency, telling staffers roiled by months of ethics allegations against his predecessor, “You will find me and my team ready to listen.”
In his first remarks to agency staffers since Scott Pruitt’s resignation last week, Wheeler said Wednesday he recognized the stress that many might be feeling about the change at the top and sought to reassure them. “I value your input and your feedback,” he said.
