Inaction is simply not acceptable, but Acting Chairman Buerkle seems to be pushing just that.

Last year, Scott Pruitt committed to me and to the public that he would ban methylene chloride.

I want to thank Chairman Schakowsky for the critical role she played in the passage of that piece of legislation.

I think it is unconscionable that we are still importing and using asbestos 40 years after EPA started work on a ban.

With Administrator Wheeler at the helm, EPA has continued to attack science, transparency, and public health.

Thank you, Madame Chair.

A budget is an expression of priorities and it should be clear to anyone reading the EPA budget proposal that President Trump does not prioritize public health or the environment.

EPA is still hiring industry lobbyists as regulators and that raises red flags on ethics issues.

I am very concerned that EPA's implementation also of the revised Toxic Substances Control Act is leaving workers, children, low-income communities, communities of color, and the general public at an unacceptable risk.

Enforcement actions against polluters have reached a 25-year low under this Administration.

We do it because it is our job to conduct oversight of the agency on behalf of the American people.

Are they still for sale?
