In his first 100 days, President Trump has aggressively targeted environmental laws, aiming to exploit public lands and harm air and water quality. Alarmingly, some California Democrats, like Sen. Alex Padilla and Sen. Scott Wiener, are supporting initiatives that could dismantle longstanding environmental protections. Padilla's backing of the Fix Our Forests Act and Wiener's proposal to diminish the California Environmental Quality Act signal a troubling trend of prioritizing political gain over environmental integrity. The article warns that such actions under Trump's leadership could have dire consequences for future environmental sustainability in the state and nation.
In just 100 days, President Trump has waged an open war on the environment, with a cruel plan to sell off our public lands and sacrifice our air, water and wildlife.
Democrats have sacrificed environmental protections to gain political points before. But continuing this dangerous game under Trump 2.0 can only end in disaster.
Sen. Scott Wiener is proposing to hand immense power to developers so they can shortchange environmental review for an array of projects including freeway expansions and power plants.
In this political climate, our Democratic leaders should work to strengthen state environmental protections - not help the president gut them.
