The EPA has removed me from the National Drinking Water Advisory Council for signing a public declaration asking EPA to commit to using good science in its policy making. This should concern all of us. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

"Environmentalists expressed alarm about the moves, which, if successful, would in effect prohibit the government from ever requiring lead line replacement in the future, or lowering lead limits."

I ran $100 billion in Infrastructure and IRA programs at EPA. We obligated over $70 billion onto signed awards and contracts to protect public health and the environment. All that funding is currently frozen. Here are the facts… 🔌💡 1/X

Yesterday I got an email dismissing me from an EPA SAB Panel. The science boards will be reestablished with selections by the new administration.
