Today, a Congressional committee is holding a hearing on the Potomac River sewage spill. Tomorrow, a different committee is voting on a bill that would cut the main funding program for dealing with sewage pollution by 27%. This makes no sense. #Safe4Swimming @PotomacRiver

57 million illnesses a year are linked to swimming in polluted water in the US--with one factor being sewage and stormwater runoff due to failing infrastructure. Our Safe for Swimming? report shows that the problem is widespread. See the report here: environmentamerica.org/cente…

Trillions of plastic pellets are spilled or dumped into our environment every year. Volunteers like these couldn't possibly clean up every single one. That's why we need to hold polluters accountable -- and most importantly, stop producing so much plastic in the first place.

Communities need resources to help clean up the #PFAS mess caused by chemical companies. Kudos to my own @RepAuchincloss for making this point clear in a hearing with @epaleezeldin today in Congress.
Apr 28
AUCHINCLOSS: How do we get rid of PFAS in municipal water supplies with 90% fewer dollars?
ZELDIN: Earmarks are a decision for you to make
AUCHINCLOSS: So wait. Your EPA plan for clean water is to hope that members of Congress do it? Hope is not a strategy

Big TY @azcentral for publishing op-ed by @ArizonaPIRG Education Fund's executive director. "If you are a consumer who has an electric, gas and water utility regulated by the commission, this means you could be faced with a triple blow to your budget annually for five years...".

Opinion: Approved formula-based utility rates could mean higher bills for consumers more often than in the past, benefitting the companies, not you. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

The EPA just exempted all 199 U.S. coal plants from mercury emission limits.
Stated goal: save coal from cheaper energy sources. Actual result per EPA's own data: 0% change in electricity prices.
What will change: mercury in Great Lakes fish. Full report: buff.ly/zqvLeux
