Today President Trump released an infrastructure proposal that bulldozes environmental laws to favor careless development at the expense of our air, land, water and wildlife.
Former Defenders of Wildlife President and CEO Jamie Rappaport Clark issued the following statement:
“President Trump’s infrastructure proposal isn’t just a bad deal for communities and wildlife across America. It’s a brazen attempt to bulldoze environmental protections to benefit deep-pocketed developers, and that’s not what Americans want.
“Americans oppose any infrastructure plan that would jeopardize our environment and public health to build bridges and roads. We’re calling on Congress to pass an infrastructure plan that provides for carefully planned, resilient infrastructure without sacrificing healthy communities and our natural heritage to special interests.”
