Re: “Ex-EPA lawyer based in Seattle fights Trump-related dismissal” (Dec. 5, Northwest):
I’m feeling dismayed after studying concerning the firing of Environmental Safety Company lawyer Ted Yackulic. We’re going by way of a scary interval wherein professionals who’re there to guard us from environmental hazards are being fired and dismissed due to views that run counter to these of the Trump administration.
I fear that my children are going to be the large losers as a long time of guidelines and laws put in place to make sure we have now a wholesome planet are gutted or ignored. Let’s not neglect that lots of these guidelines (just like the Clear Air Act and Clear Water Act) had been signed into regulation by Republican presidents like Richard Nixon.
A pal as soon as shared the quote that “environmentalists generally is a ache within the ass, however they make nice ancestors.” So true.
