Salem, OR — Today, Governor Tina Kotek issued a statement in response to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Zeldin's announcements on March 12:

“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was created to protect human health and the environment. The actions taken today to roll back landmark environmental regulations will do exactly the opposite. Combating climate change requires collaboration and long-term work – not deregulating polluters – to ensure a healthy planet for future generations.

“There is no turning back. I guarantee that climate action will continue in Oregon, and that we will continue developing innovative solutions to confront the climate crisis and build a brighter future.”
