Attacks on Environmental Laws and Investments Pose a Threat to Maine

NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL OF MAINE • February 6, 2025

Over the past two weeks, the Trump Administration has released a flurry of proposals aimed at increasing our use of expensive fossil fuels, undermining bedrock environmental laws, eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and attempting to override the role of Congress to decide how the budget of the United States will be spent. These actions have been deeply disturbing, potentially unconstitutional, and have caused widespread concern across the nation. Here in Maine, they could have dire consequences on the health of Maine people, businesses, and communities. We encourage you to contact Maine’s Congressional delegation and urge them to oppose the Trump Administration’s attempts to undermine environmental and health protections for the American people.
