Abstract

Washington, Oct 6 — On Wednesday, members of Congress ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to do a “Superfund” cleanup of its own work environment. For 3 hours, lawmakers and the public listened as witnesses testified to patterns of intolerance, discrimination, and retaliation within the EPA — “This agency is run like a 21st century plantation and this has to stop,” said witness and EPA policy analyst Marsha Coleman-Adebayo.
