Jason Chaffetz: Biden's environmental czars – Obama's playbook is back and here's why you should be worried

As the 100-day mark of the Biden-Harris administration approaches, the White House leadership team is beginning to look like Obama Czars version 3.0.  

It's bad enough that Biden's Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, has financial interests in a green energy company being promoted by Biden and Harris last week. Granholm did go through Senate confirmation, where she committed to resign from the board of electric battery and vehicle maker Proterra and sell her stock. She has done neither, according to reporting from the New York Post.   Obama-Biden learned how to avoid the Congress and the traditional press. Now the same players are back. It gets worse with the more casual appointments that receive less scrutiny.  A host of questionable candidates have been appointed to take over responsibilities once reserved for Cabinet secretaries. At least one of these "czars" is pushing the ethical limits by not providing financial disclosures or signing publicly available ethics pledges.
