The EPA has proposed allowing state agencies to decide whether the public has a voice on air permitting. For decades, federal rules have guaranteed communities the right to know and speak up about polluting facilities proposed in their neighborhoods. This proposal would hand that decision to agencies like the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), whose track record tells us exactly how it would end.
