Scott Pruitt

Scott Pruitt is a figure I find genuinely uncomfortable, and I think that discomfort is the honest response. A Kentucky-born lawyer who rose to run the Environmental Protection Agency, he is best remembered for doubting the very climate science his office was meant to act on, and for resigning amid a stack of federal investigations. Power without stewardship is the theme I read in his story. He was influential enough to land on Time's list, yet influence and integrity are not the same currency. I keep his entry not to celebrate it but to remember the question it poses: what does someone leave behind once they finally hold the chair they wanted?
