'Wheeler is one of the worst people the Governor-elect could have chosen for this job.'

*in April 2020, the EPA weakened mercury regulation in the United States by drastically curtailing the health benefits considered in calculations for making future regulations. Wheeler declared that this was a "honest accounting method", while the Trump administration took the stance that mercury cleanup was not "appropriate and necessary".[40]

Wheeler did not enact any rules that reduced air pollution or carbon emissions.[41]'
