"U.S. EPA hired Republican campaign consultants to help produce a report touting Administrator Scott Pruitt's accomplishments.

Go BIG Media Inc. signed a contract with the federal agency last month worth up to $6,500, according to federal records. Under the contract, the firm was to help with "design, graphics, production and edits of the EPA end of year report."

It was Go BIG Media's first federal government contract.

On Monday, EPA released the "Year In Review" report, which highlighted Pruitt's actions in "2017-2018." It emphasized the EPA chief's moves to roll back several major regulations, which have won praise from industry but frustrated environmental groups (E&E News PM, March 5)."
