Trump plan to nix programs protecting kids from lead paint gets chilly Maine reception


In this week's Maine Sunday Telegram, I have a story on how President Trump's proposed elimination of Environmental Protection Agency programs to reduce lead paint exposure in children will likely effect Maine.

As you'll see from the story, the proposal has gotten a frosty reception from Maine's Congressional delegation, which consists of two Republicans, a Democrat, and an independent.

I've also written recently about the president's proposed budget cuts generally, his broader cuts to the EPA, his cuts to NOAA and, the Wells Reserve and suggested dismantling of NASA Earth Sciences would effect Maine.
