Ethics violations and possible criminal activity. It took so long because the King loved him and didn't give a rat's a** how many times Pruitt put his hand in our cooky jar. But finally the negative press got to King d . He doesn't like to be seen as a fool which he is. so he reluctantly accepted Pruitt's "resignation". And then replaced him with someone quite possibly far worse. A former COAL lobbyist! From bad to worse t'is a curse! :(
