EPA head Lee Zeldin shows us good riddance to bad giveaways

President Donald Trump’s determination to enactment 1 of New York’s own, ex-Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, successful complaint of the Environmental Protection Agency is already paying disconnected — literally.

Zeldin past week announced that his team rooted retired astir $20 billion successful payer wealth that the Biden medication had squirreled distant astatine an unnamed extracurricular fiscal institution.

The plan, per Zeldin, was to parkland that currency to beryllium passed retired to far-left clime groups successful “a unreserved occupation with reduced oversight,” arsenic it was “awarded to conscionable 8 entities that were past liable for doling retired your wealth to NGOs and others astatine their discretion with acold little transparency.”

So a $20 cardinal giveaway for groups pushing the extremist clime agenda, meted retired with zero input from anyone voters really enactment successful charge.

Kudos to Zeldin’s squad for catching this scam, we hope successful clip to halt the billions from going each the mode retired the door.

Zeldin besides pointed retired that we were told this was happening: In December, Project Veritas caught an EPA advisor connected camera admitting that the bureau was “trying to get the wealth retired arsenic accelerated arsenic possible” and “throwing golden bars” disconnected “the Titanic” earlier the Trump admin could instrumentality implicit and “stop it all.”

The EPA’s hunt for misspent funds makes it wide that slashing authorities discarded and protecting payer wealth doesn’t halt with Elon Musk’s DOGE.

Zeldin made definite to clarify that the slope had, arsenic of yet, done thing wrong, but helium insisted the wealth beryllium returned to the EPA, truthful it could beryllium decently (and accountably) disbursed.

There’s nary warrant that the billions can be clawed back, but Zeldin gave warning: “The days of irresponsibly shoveling boatloads of currency to far-left activistic groups successful the sanction of biology justness and clime equity are over.”

And bully riddance.
