One month after taking office, Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt hosted BPs U.S. chairman at his office to discuss issues the company works with the agency on. The next day, Pruitt met with two top executives from Chevron Corporation to discuss regulatory reform. The day after that, he spent two hours mingling with 45 CEOs from oil and gas companies at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Its not unusual for the nations top environmental regulator to meet with leaders of some of the industries he or she regulates. But Pruitt, who came into the agency with a reputation for siding with fossil fuel interests, has virtually ignored conservation and public health advocates, according to calendars released under the Freedom of Information Act and first reported by E&E News .

Pruitts calendars show far fewer meetings with environmental and public health advocates. On Earth Day, the agency issued a press release feting the great natural resources that the United States is blessed with and touting a meeting with The Nature Conservancy and the National Audubon Society. A church, an interfaith group and the Indiana chapter of the NAACP were also included on a list of 25 organizations Pruitt met with that an EPA spokeswoman provided to HuffPost.

That lopsided courting of fossil fuel executives lays bare a major shift in how the agency is operating, former EPA officials told HuffPost. It also demonstrates what one legal scholar described as the fatal flaw in administrative law that allows an industry-friendly agency boss to buddy up to polluters with little oversight.

Its not surprising, Liz Purchia, who left her post as the EPAs communications director under President Barack Obama in January, told HuffPost. Its confirming everything that people who opposed Scott Pruitt all had expected.
