The EPA’s Titanic Blunder: A $20 Billion Betrayal of Public Trust
18 hours ago Charles Rotter 79 Comments
In a staggering revelation, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has uncovered a clandestine maneuver by the previous Biden administration, involving the allocation of approximately $20 billion in taxpayer funds to an external financial institution. This move appears to have been a deliberate attempt to circumvent potential budgetary constraints anticipated from the succeeding administration. The funds, earmarked for environmental projects under the Inflation Reduction Act, were distributed among eight entities, notably including the Climate United Fund.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Wednesday that he’s found $20 billion in taxpayer money that the Biden administration “parked” at a financial institution — in an apparent effort to prevent the Trump administration from cutting grants to “far-left activist groups.”
Administrator Zeldin has expressed profound concerns regarding the transparency and oversight of this allocation process. He is advocating for the immediate return of these funds to the EPA to ensure proper management and accountability. Zeldin has also indicated plans to refer this matter to the EPA’s inspector general and to collaborate with the Justice Department to uphold fiscal responsibility and public trust.
