"After Uproar, EPA’s Pruitt Says He Plans To Fly Coach" [1]

"The head of the Environmental Protection Agency, facing ongoing criticism about his taxpayer-funded, first-class travels, says he plans to spend more time in coach.

“There’s a change coming,” EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told CBS News in a podcast set to air Friday.

Pruitt has faced a public backlash and inquiries from Congress in recent weeks, after The Washington Post detailed dozens of first-class flights Pruitt had taken through last summer, as well as his penchant for staying at luxury hotels."
