The Globe finds another non-profit in need of DOGE
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced earlier this month that the EPA will undertake 31 historic deregulation actions to advance President Trump’s Day One executive orders and Power the Great American Comeback.
Administrator Zeldin is taking a DOGE flame-thrower to the EPA.
Most Americans think this is a very good plan. Deregulation of EPA regulations means very good outcomes for businesses and individuals.
But not everyone was happy. Governor Gavin Newsom referred to this as “dismantling decades of clean air and clean water protections.”
Now Newsom has a title to go along with his climate change passions:
“In his first action since being named Co-Chair of the subnational climate coalition America Is All In, Governor Gavin Newsom today announced a groundbreaking state effort to cut methane pollution with the help of innovative satellite technology,” a press release from California Governor Gavin Newsom says.
“The new initiative comes as the Trump Administration’s EPA works to dismantle decades of clean air and clean water protections. Specifically, the U.S. EPA is reconsidering the “endangerment finding,” which is the basis for federal actions to curb planet-warming emissions of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide and methane.”
