Republican AGs attack Biden’s EPA for pursuing environmental discrimination cases [Video]

FILE – The Fifth Ward Elementary School and residential neighborhoods sit near the Denka Performance Elastomer Plant, back, in Reserve, La., Sept. 23, 2022. More than 20 Republican attorneys general on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, asked the EPA to stop investigating environmental policies that disproportionately harm Black people but aren’t intentionally discriminatory. The petition is unlikely to convince the Biden administration to back away from an issue EPA Administrator Michael Regan has taken pains to highlight, like visiting the industrial stretch of Louisiana typically called Cancer Alley.
