Dingell, Kildee, Pallone, Tonko on Trump Administration Freezing EPA Grant Funding Including Aid to Flint
Washington, DC,
January 24, 2017
Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Congressman Dan Kildee (D-MI), Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY) issued the following statement today in response to the Trump Administration’s directive to temporarily freeze all grant funding issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): "President Trump’s directive to freeze EPA grant funding is very concerning. Just last month, Democrats and Republicans in Congress came together in a bipartisan fashion to pass long overdue aid for the people of Flint, Michigan. Flint families have waited long enough for help and President Trump's EPA directives should not jeopardize or delay real aid from reaching Flint or any other community in need." |
