The administration's proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency's staff and budget are deeply concerning. Slashing the workforce by 65% and drastically reducing funding would severely undermine the EPA's ability to fulfill its crucial mission of safeguarding public health and the environment. Such drastic measures threaten to undo decades of progress in combating air and water pollution, addressing climate change, and enforcing vital environmental regulations. A well-funded and properly staffed EPA is essential for protecting our communities and natural resources from harmful pollutants and ensuring a sustainable future. I urge you to oppose these damaging cuts and instead support increased investment in the EPA to strengthen its capacity to protect our environment and the well-being of all Americans.
