Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) criticizes government politicization

From NPR.

In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep, Governor Kevin Stitt (R-OK) criticized a signature of recent administrations, especially Trump’s: tearing up the work of earlier administrations. He singled out a wind power project in Rhode Island that was canceled by the Trump administration.

“They did everything right. They’ve been working on it for eight years. They have all their permits,” Stitt said. “They’re 90% complete and they just get the plug pulled on them, that is by the administration. That’s un-American. We cannot be a pendulum swing where we are going back and forth and we’re killing different projects based on our political views.”

The Rhode Island project is moving forward after a judge blocked the Trump Administration from pausing the offshore wind farm earlier this year, but it still remains in litigation.
