Frida Ghitis : He signaled a tough road ahead for community advocates pushing for stronger regulations in the nation’s “sacrifice zones” She says he regularly voted against progressive climate and environment policies, earning him a lifetime score of just 14 percent from the League of Conservation Voters .
If confirmed, Zeldin will have considerable power to shape the national direction of climate and environment policy.
He will be tasked with preparing the EPA ’s annual budget, which determines how much funding will be allocated.
