A former Environmental Protection Agency official who was fired shortly after President Joe Biden took office alleged that the agency is illegally purging its ranks in a lawsuit filed Thursday.
Dr. Stanley Young served a 3year term on the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) between 2017 and 2020, and Young was reappointed for another term set to expire in 2023, according to the complaint. But after EPA Administrator Michael Regan took office in March, the Young tenure was cut short and he was fired along with every other SAB member.
The suit alleges the law requires that EPA seek scientific advice from an independent and balanced panel of qualified scientists as part of its policy-making process,Energy & Environment Legal Institute Senior Policy Fellow Steve Milloy said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Biden EPA seemingly has turned the law on its head by first deciding what its policy is and then stacking the panel with its cronies, mainly university professors who live on grants from Papa Joe and company.
