"Agencies exist to administer the law." — Scott Pruitt

I think that the more we, as a state, yield and cede decisions to the federal government, the lesser we'll be for it as a state.

When you hang around people who believe in you, it kind of uplifts your spirit a little bit. And you can see great things happen.

There are issues the EPA should be dealing with. When I talk about the EPA and its role with the states, it's not an abolitionist view, that we don't need that agency. It's that the agency should act within the outlines established by Congress.

I might not like a statute... but if you know what to expect, you can plan. The law is static. It's stable. It gives you confidence. You know you have to act a certain way.
