ATLANTA (AP) — With new innovations and technology, scientists have learned from
Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff asked Zeldin why he had canceled a $19.8 million grant to Thomasville, Georgia, to replace a wastewater collection system and build a community health clinic.“Is a new health clinic for Thomasville woke?” Ossoff asked, noting that the grant was approved under an environmental justice program the EPA has terminated.
Zeldin again cited policy priorities before Ossoff, a Democrat, cut him off. “You hurt my constituents,’' he said.Zeldin later said grants to Thomasville and towns in Alaska and Washington state may be restored if language about environmental justice and diversity is removed, in accordance with an executive order by Trump.Zeldin declined to provide specific goals for EPA staffing under his tenure, but appeared to acknowledge claims by Merkley and Murray that staff totals could return to a level last seen under former President Ronald Reagan. The EPA had fewer than 11,000 employees in 1983, compared to more than 15,100 in 2024.
The agency has laid off hundreds of employees and offered voluntary retirement or deferred resignations to thousands more as part of ato downsize the federal workforce.
