Coming up at 10am ET/9am CT: We’ll ask @EPAAWheeler about the #TrumpBudget's massive 31% cut to @EPA – the agency charged with ensuring we have clean air to breathe and safe water to drink. Follow along live here → https://youtu.be/SK2M6lg47EQ pic.twitter.com/2F4XsATFbx
Dedicated EPA employees work hard every day to protect human health & our environment. They’re the defenders of our clean air & clean water. Sadly, the president’s budget completely fails to support the EPA’s mission. The American people deserve better.
This 31% cut is the largest proposed cut to any cabinet-level agency. From slashing important research funding, to cutting programs that limit lead exposure in our homes and schools, to funding clean water infrastructure for Indian Country – these cuts harm Americans.
As my colleague @RepDerekKilmer pointed out, climate change & access to safe drinking water are connected – and ignoring that link while defunding clean water programs puts future generations at risk. #ProtectCleanWater
We know EPA staff had concerns about the proposed PolyMet mining project in MN – but they weren’t made public. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and just leaves us with more questions. Minnesotans deserve to know the EPA’s concerns.
Right out of the gate - massive thanks from contaminated communities to @BettyMcCollum04 and @NitaLowey to call out the outrageous cuts to @EPA budget and egregious defense of it. LONG past time this admin put people first over the obvious corporate interests, as it's meant to.
