“It is already clear that President Trump is making good on his promise to instruct his administration to roll back environmental rules and regulations. However, the job of the Environmental Protection Agency is to protect people, not polluters. Lee Zeldin’s confirmation as head of the EPA presents an opportunity to bring a much-needed sense of responsibility to the president’s environmental team. As a Long Islander, Zeldin knows that protecting drinking water and preserving open space has always garnered strong bipartisan support and we need him to remember these values whenever the White House proposes misguided assaults on our environment.”
NYLCV is the only statewide environmental organization in New York that fights for clean water, clean air, renewable energy and open space through political action. We're non-partisan, pragmatic and effective.
