Congrats Mr. Western. Please be a positive force in “right-sizing” the EPA and making it more responsive to the needs of Americans. We don’t need the heavy hand of Washington dictating to us.
If we always put America and American(s) First, we may still be able to save our country and Make America Great Again.

There must be more to this story. I thought Cyrus had more integrity than to bow to the orange altar.

I applaud his effort to seek gainful employment, regardless of who’s in the Oval office.
And what’s wrong with rooting out wasteful or fraudulent use of our taxpayer supplied dollars?
What’s wrong with getting foreign criminals out of America?
Seems like “Making America Great Again” is a goal every thinking American would want.
