Lee Zeldin will be the EPA Director, and he is a mixed bag

Good things:

He’s against turning the frickin frogs gay: “He was one of 23 Republicans in 2021 who voted in favor of a bill that would have placed some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, under a National Drinking Water Standard.”

Zeldin voted against both the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law and the 2022 climate tax and health care reconciliation law.

Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen doesn’t like him because she is a rabid communist.

Bad things:

He also voted against Republican amendments that would have cut funding for the EPA when the House was under Democratic control.

He was also one of the Republicans to vote against the 2017 Republican tax overhaul over opposition to changes for state and local tax deductions.
