The Fall of the House of Windsor: Another High-Ranking EPA Official Resigns for Use of Private, Annonymous Emali Accounts to Conduct Government Business

Illegally, I should note, but the headline was already way too long.

EPA Region 8 administrator James Martin is resigning this week, according to a press release from Sen. David Vitter (R., La.). Martin faces a congressional probe for allegedly using a private email account to circumvent disclosure requirements.
Bob Perciasepe, the current acting EPA administrator, also used a private account to send emails to other EPA officials, Vitter said his office has discovered.

The Most Transparent Administration In History

I guess America really likes ploys on words.
