Rantz: EPA expense a slap in the face to taxpayers

This is getting more ridiculous.

EPA head Scott Pruitt just wasted $43,000 on a soundproof telephone booth for his office. Why? For privacy during all those super-secret EPA conversations with the White House.

What on Earth are they talking about that requires this kind of expense and secrecy?

What’s worse is that there’s already a soundproof booth in the building, just not in his office.

Pruitt has routinely misspent tax dollars, including over $1,600 on a first class ticket from DC to NYC and a military jet to Rome. He’s shown to have a serious disregard for our taxes and we deserve better.

This is not a good look for a Republican administration that claims tax dollars shouldn’t be squandered. You can’t pride yourself on your conservative values while letting this go without criticism, even if I understand the strategy.

The Left will use any criticism as proof of chaos and in-fighting within the party. They’ll use our criticism against us. So be it. That’s a bad media strategy. Folks who don’t live on either side of the aisle will see us demanding better use of tax dollars, not Republican infighting, and that’s good branding.
