It's an awfully weak way of acknowledging that Trump destroyed the EPA and turned it into a bribery machine by appointing his corrupt cronies there.

But it's a start. The next logical step is punishing the guilty to the full extent of the law.

@sensiblequiet The erosion of these standards shows how easily regulatory bodies can be captured when corporate interests are prioritized over public health. Rebuilding the EPA's integrity will take much more than just changing the leadership.
