Mass Firings of Public Servants Make Every Single American Less Safe

"The mass firings ordered by President Trump’s budget director, Russell Vought, are a continued attack on public service and expertise,” said Joanna Slaney, Vice President for Political and Government Affairs at Environmental Defense Fund.

“The people protecting the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the places we raise our families from deadly pollution and toxic chemicals are doing essential work. Firing them leaves every single American, even Vought, less safe and more exposed to harm."
