Stop Harrisburg politicians from using the pandemic to freeze environmental protections
While much of the nation was celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, politicians in Harrisburg had the gall to fast-track legislation that would stop new environmental regulations in their tracks. House Bill 2416 and Senate Bill 327 include language to block state agencies like the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from finalizing new environmental protections until at least 90 days after Governor Wolf’s emergency declaration ends. That means steps that are already underway to reduce climate pollution and clean up our air and water will be held up indefinitely, jeopardizing our environment and public health.
