Connolly Statement on Trump’s Proposal to Weaken NEPA Protections

Today, Congressman Gerry Connolly, Chairman of the House Green Dogs, released the following statement on the Trump Administration’s proposal to weaken the National Environmental Policy Act.

“The Trump Administration’s decision to roll back the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process is yet another cynical attack on environmental safeguards. As the climate crisis grows more dire, we should be elevating climate science in our consideration of infrastructure plans and empowering the voices of local stakeholders who can help us improve community resilience. Instead, this rule will cut out public input, weaken protections for air, water, and wildlife, and put our communities at greater risk.”
