Letter: If this is a drained swamp, we need to rethink who we vote for

If this is what a drained swamp looks like, I think we should reconsider voting for qualified politicians. Pruitt is trying to dismantle the EPA while staying in a condo owned by oil lobbyists. So it’s no surprise that now Trump wants to rollback fuel efficiency standards so that more profit can be made from SUV sales while our children breathe their exhaust. General Motors’ report supporting relaxing these CAFE standards was written by the Heartland Institute, a well-funded propaganda arm of the Koch brothers, Exxon, and the American Petroleum Institute.

How are the children’s interests going to be protected from lobbyists with Mar-a-Lago memberships?
