"Uneven Enforcement Follows Pruitt Edict On Science Panels"

"For then-EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, it was an occasion worthy of a biblical decree.

Just as the Old Testament prophet Joshua told the people of Israel to "choose this day whom you're going to serve," so, too, would members of EPA advisory committees have to choose, Pruitt announced last October.

The choice: Give up their EPA grants or get off their respective panels. The new policy would take effect immediately, Pruitt said.

But almost a year later, EPA hasn't followed up with the same zeal in evenhandedly enforcing that unprecedented and divisive directive across all 22 advisory committees, according to interviews and email exchanges."
