Trump appoints new EPA head in SF who led ‘Lock her up’ chants against Clinton
A Santa Barbara County attorney who has fought for farmers and fossil fuels and led the “Lock Her Up” chants in opposition to Hillary Clinton, was appointed by the Trump administration Friday to head the Environmental Protection Agency’s Pacific Southwest office in San Francisco.
The appointment of Mike Stoker, a former county supervisor and GOP stalwart, infuriated environmentalists and further annoyed Bay Area Democrats and San Francisco power brokers reeling from assaults by the administration on environmental policies.
