Yesterday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin showed again that he really doesn’t prioritize children’s health. He sat before the Senate Appropriations Committee, trying to defend Trump’s proposal to cut more than 50% of EPA’s budget.
But this budget cut is indefensible. He had no reasonable justifications for no longer considering the public health costs of air pollution when writing regulations or gutting the scientific boards that advise the agency on clean air protections needed to keep our children safe.
He is failing to protect our children, the environment, and our health, and it’s time for him to go.
