Since when is protecting Mainers’ health “no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities”? The May 23 photo of farmer Adam Nordell walking over fields contaminated with “forever chemicals” told a disheartening story (“After hailing them as important, EPA cancels PFAS research grants”).
Despite reassurances that “delays due to the reorganization of the EPA” will not erase Maine’s leadership in this fight, will the already approved grants to mitigate the risks of PFAS go forward?
The journalists deserve Mainers’ thanks for the efforts to keep us informed and protected.
