Sen Harris asks Mr. Pruitt if Mr. Pruitt would preserve CA waivers and authorizations re vehicle emission standards granted annually by previous EPA administrations. Mr. Pruitt states he would review previous agreements but could not commit to uphold any that have historically allowed CA to pursue stricter vehicle emission standards than those set by the Fed. Sen Harris asks if Mr. Pruitt ever filed suit against an OK polluter, and Mr. Pruitt names a suit against a hen CAFO, Mayhard Egg Farm, which was began by predecessors years before Mr. Pruitt became OK AG, as revealed in later rounds in this hearing at 2:23:07 by Ranking Sen Tom Carper.
