EPA Secretary Lee Zeldon reported at a cabinet meeting on Monday: SEC. LEE ZELDIN: The EPA has now canceled over $22 billion worth of contracts, including $2 billion going to this NGO that Stacey Abrams was tied to.


The article from RealClearPolitics discusses a statement by EPA Secretary Michael Regan, who revealed that approximately $20 billion in environmental funding was allocated to just eight non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These NGOs, according to Regan, act as "pass-throughs," meaning they distribute the funds to other entities rather than directly implementing projects themselves. This approach has raised concerns about transparency and the efficiency of fund distribution, as critics argue that such a concentration of funds in a few organizations might not ensure the most effective use of taxpayer money for environmental initiatives. The article highlights ongoing debates about the management and oversight of these funds, questioning whether this method truly benefits the environmental goals set by the government or if it primarily serves the interests of these select NGOs.
