Could Pruitt eff up our environment a bit more cheaply at least? $45K?


Two aides and three security agents working for Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt took a $45,000 trip to Australia for the purpose of setting up meetings for Pruitt that never actually occurred, Reuters reports.

The five-person "advance" team was in Australia and New Zealand in order to set up a meeting with Australia's Parliament, where Pruitt was expected to meet with Australian officials to discuss environmental policy.


Pruitt's trip was canceled, however, due to the landfall of Hurricane Harvey last year, and a new meeting has not been scheduled. An EPA spokesman told Reuters that rescheduling the trip had been stymied by Australia's parliamentary schedule.
