The US Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) has decided not to punish corrupt EPA workers, who used fake email accounts to conduct official US government business, US advocacy group Judicial Watch said in a release on Friday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On December 19, 2012, the EPA was investigated for dodging public scrutiny and possible congressional oversight by using fake email accounts to conduct official business.

“The scandal-plagued agency that’s wasted millions to bring underserved and minority communities ‘environmental justice’ fails to punish corrupt employees and allows them to keep their government paychecks.”

US President Barack Obama’s first EPA administrator Lisa Jackson was in charge of the agency when it occurred. She dedicated tens of millions of dollars to an “environmental justice movement” that helped minority communities be more environmentally conscious.

“Under the program, the EPA has doled out large sums to leftwing community groups that help poor, minority, and indigenous people increase recycling, reduce carbon emissions through ‘weatherization,’ participate in ‘green jobs’ training, and avoid heat stroke.”

Judicial Watch is a Washington, DC-based educational foundation that promotes government transparency and accountability in the United States, according to the organization’s website.
