Statement

Date: April 30, 2012
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Environment

U.S. Congressman Bill Flores (R-Texas) issued the following statement regarding the resignation of EPA Region VI Administrator Al Armendariz:

"I was relieved to hear Administrator Armendariz has stepped down, especially given the abrasive and divisive approaches that he used during his tenure. This is yet another example of how unelectable, unaccountable and out of control bureaucrats continue to flaunt the rule of law and let their personal beliefs cloud their judgment. Last week, I signed two separate letters asking for the resignation of Armendariz, and I am proud to see that those efforts were successful. Republicans in Congress have and will continue to hold this Administration accountable."

Congressman Bill Flores represents the 17th District of Texas and is an entrepreneur, former energy executive, Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and member of the House Budget, Natural Resources and Veterans' Affairs Committees.
