Trump on Track to Shed Almost 50% of EPA Staff by End of First Term


Source:
The Environmental Protection Agency, seen by President Trump as a bloated bureaucratic whale, is on schedule to fulfill his promise to reduce its staff nearly in half by the end of his first term mostly through retirements, not cuts, according to officials. 
The EPA Tuesday provided to Secrets its first year staff results which show that the agency is below levels not seen since former President Reagan’s administration. And if just those slated to retire by early 2021 leave, Administrator Scott Pruitt and his team will have reduced a staff of nearly 15,000, to below 8,000, or a reduction of 47 percent.

This looks worse by the minute. Something very big is behind this story. Remember ISIS claimed responsibility, and we also have members of the Saudi Royal family one floor above the "perps" room. Where did the weapons come from?
