Senators seek answers on EPA effort to claw back $20 billion in climate funds
U.S. Senate Democrats on Monday asked Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to end his campaign to claw back funds previously granted for greenhouse gas reduction projects, saying that effort is illegal. The senators, who sit on the Senate environment and public works committee, said Zeldin's well-publicized social media campaign to seize $20 billion appropriated through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act defies legal authority and will destroy jobs created as a result of that funding throughout the US. "Your announcement is the latest example of the Trump Administration and its government efficiency 'experts' using unfounded claims of waste, fraud, and abuse as a smokescreen to ignore congressional spending authority and ignore court orders in order to freeze or terminate programs designed to reduce carbon pollution," said the letter, signed by the nine Democrats on the committee led by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
