- The leading business lobby group in Indiana on Monday rejected a plea from former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt to back legislation that would keep aging coal-fired power plants online because it would raise electricity rates for local businesses and homeowners.
Hallador Energy Co, the parent of Rail Point, on Saturday announced it hired Pruitt, who resigned as the head of the EPA amid a series of ethics investigations, as a lobbyist who is calling on the state legislature to put a moratorium on new utility generation purchases.The Chamber’s 50-member energy committee unanimously rejected Pruitt’s campaign.
As EPA administrator, Pruitt pursued President Donald Trump’s stated goal of saving coal industry jobs and undoing regulations imposed by President Barack Obama’s administration aimed at slashing carbon emissions.

The fact that anyone with “former EPA chief” on their resume is lobbying for coal-fired plants now just confirms that Mr. Pruitt’s placement in the EPA was to prove how LITTLE the GOP cares about the health of our land and our people. Must EVERYTHING be about business 4 the GOP
The good guys win for once.
His new job seems to be going well
