Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) criticizes the EPA for awarding billions in grants close to the end of President Biden's term, alleging potential waste and mismanagement of taxpayer funds.
Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) accused the EPA of rapidly awarding grants in the final days of the Biden administration, expressing concerns about potential mismanagement and waste of taxpayer dollars . Ernst , who previously raised similar concerns about the Commerce Department, is demanding transparency from the EPA regarding its grant funding practices. She pointed to the recent awarding of \$1.
6 billion through the Community Change Grants program as evidence of this accelerated spending, which she believes lacks proper scrutiny. Ernst cited estimates of \$280 billion in potential fraud related to COVID-19 pandemic funds as a further example of the risks associated with hasty disbursements. She urged the EPA to ensure that taxpayer dollars are allocated responsibly and prioritize projects that serve national interests
