Transparency knows no political ideology. In an era where citizen science and public involvement are increasing, we are working to ensure that the public is made aware of the rationale and science behind agency decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

I fundamentally believe that the American public has a right to know about EPA’s regulations and their scientific underpinnings. Today’s final rule increases transparency and trust in the Agency’s decisions, benefitting the public for decade to come. https://t.co/cKRZUbTIwk — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

This is a lie and CNN readers deserve better. This rule creates transparency surrounding scientific studies and protects patient records. Read more here: https://t.co/VURjf25Kc7 — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump Administration’s pragmatic approach to climate action has produced meaningful results without unnecessarily sacrificing American jobs or important domestic industries like our aircraft manufacturers. — PolitiTweet.org

For only the second time in agency’s history, EPA is fulfilling its statutory obligation to complete NAAQS review for ozone within a five-year time frame. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

Our actions today show the Trump Administration is fulfilling its promise of protecting human health and environment for all Americans, regardless of where they live, by retaining the NAAQS set by the Obama-Biden Administration. More: https://t.co/GjXfrJHqvF — PolitiTweet.org

The one percent statistic demonstrates the failure of the old rule to compel lead service line replacements in response to an Action Level Exceedance. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

This means that in over 20 years, less than 160 water systems (according to the agency there are over 148,000 public water systems in the U.S.) in this country have removed lead service lines as a result of exceeding the federal action level for lead in drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

Since 1997, more than 14,000 water systems have had an Action Level Exceedance for lead, but only one percent of these systems have replaced lead service lines due to the loopholes in the old rule. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

This includes closing loopholes, accelerating the real world pace of lead service line replacement, and ensuring that lead pipes will be replaced in their entirety. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

For the first time in nearly thirty years, this action incorporates best practices and strengthens every aspect of the rule to better protect children and families from exposure to lead in drinking water. https://t.co/nT32ag7Lyi — PolitiTweet.org

Great to have Floridians wake up to see their state is now in the drivers seat in overseeing their own wetlands rather than regulators in Washington. https://t.co/UnhK24BbCs — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

Florida has, beyond question, one of the greatest environmental records of any state, and I couldn’t be happier that Florida has shown it can meet the strict national standards EPA sets to protect human health and the environment. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

Florida becomes the third state in the 43 years since the CWA amendments, to be granted administration of the Section 404 program, and the first to achieve such a designation in the past 25 years. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler @EPAAWheeler

Today, I am pleased to announced EPA’s decision approving the State of Florida’s request to assume implementation of the Clean Water Act Section 404 program. https://t.co/mybducQJr1 https://t.co/mwMdGg5Jsz — PolitiTweet.org

Also notice that CNN is doing all they can to avoid talking about China - who is the worst pollution offender in the world - and wants Americans to think they’re the villains when it comes to emissions. — PolitiTweet.org
