Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced $20 billion in grants awarded by the Biden administration are being terminated.
" “The days of ‘throwing gold bars off the Titanic’ are over," Zeldin said in a statement. “The well documented incidents of misconduct, conflicts of interest, and potential fraud raise significant concerns and pose unacceptable risk. I have taken action to terminate these grants riddled with self-dealing and wasteful spending. EPA will be an exceptional steward of taxpayer dollars dedicated to our core mission of protecting human health and the environment, not a frivolous spender in the name of ‘climate equity.'”
