Dingell, State Senator and Reps Hold Town Hall on Environmental Protection

Statement

Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12), State Senator Stephanie Chang, State Representative Cara Clemente, and State Representative Darrin Camilleri hosted a town hall discussion on efforts to clean up industrial pollution of the past across Downriver communities. The representatives were also jointed by State Senator Marshall Bullock.

"We all remember the industrial pollution downriver -- air filled with smoke and rivers contaminated," said Congresswoman Dingell. "Since those days we've come a long way and we must continue to hold new industry to higher standards. We cannot move the needle backwards on environmental protection."

"The quality of our air, water and land is a huge priority for Downriver residents and for me and my team so we can protect public health. Whether it is clean and affordable drinking water, the clean up of the McLouth Steel site, or protecting our air and waterways from polluters, I look forward to continuing the hard work in advocating for environmental protection and partnering with Congresswoman Dingell and other leaders to get things done," said State Senator Stephanie Chang.

"Downriver, we're surrounded by water and land that's seen centuries of heavy industrial use," said State Representative Darrin Camilleri (D-Brownstown). "We have a duty to clean up our air, water, and land, and it's time for real solutions and real action. I'm committed to fighting for stronger PFAS standards, improving water quality, and building safer, healthier communities through greater transparency and accountability."
