WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency announced last month that the water in Jackson, Mississippi, is now safe to drink, though agency administrator Michael Regan admits that there is still a lot of work to be done.
"The state and the city, the federal government, we're all at the table with our sleeves rolled up looking for and identifying this path forward," he told ABC News'to talk about his visit to Jackson, his so-called"Journey to Justice" tour across the country and what climate action we can expect from the U.S. moving forward.
The purpose for being there was to host a roundtable, engaged with community members and give them an update on the fact that the state, the federal government and the city are at the table negotiating some near-term solutions that hopefully will be overseen by a federal court if we reach an agreement.
And, you know, she's extremely frustrated but very optimistic. And she gave me some really sage advice two trips ago, and that is ignore the politics on the ground and focus on solutions. And so that's why I convened the governor and the mayor and the entire Mississippi delegation to think about how do we chart a path forward. And that's what we've been doing.You know, we have a lot of options that are on the table.
But I've also been to Puerto Rico as well. And we're looking to move to to take a trip to the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia soon. The goal is to really highlight the infrastructure needs, the lack of investment in many of our Black and brown and low-income and tribal communities.
