Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) staff and budget are exploding under President Joe Biden as his administration seeks to transform the agency into a nationwide force for “environmental justice,” according to a new oversight analysis by an independent government watchdog.
“‘Environmental justice’ has been an agency priority since the 1990s, but has accelerated under the Biden administration due to new executive orders, a new Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, and billions of dollars in new funding to direct towards environmental justice-related goals,” according to the analysis compiled by OpenTheBooks.com (OTB).
