Neal Statement on Trump Administration Clean Water Rollbacks
Washington, DC,
September 13, 2019
Congressman Richard E. Neal released the following statement today following the decision of the Trump administration to rollback clean water protections enacted by President Barack Obama. “The decision by the Trump administration today to rollback landmark clean water regulations is unwarranted and unwise. These important environmental standards, enacted by President Barack Obama, were designed to safeguard our water supply from pollutants. But instead of strengthening environmental protections, the EPA is now putting our nation’s waterways and wetlands at risk with this misguided change in policy. It is clear that President Trump is continuing to advance the agenda of polluters at the expense of the American people,” said Congressman Richard E. Neal. ## |
