EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says he will slash climate-change regulations and spending

The article from Newsday discusses the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) decision to remove a toxic waste site in Long Island from its Superfund list, a move that has sparked controversy.

The debate centers on the effectiveness of the remediation efforts and the potential long-term health impacts on the community, with calls for further investigation and possibly more stringent cleanup standards.
