EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the museum is “yet another example of waste by the Biden administration.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says he is closing a one-room museum at the agency’s Washington headquarters, saving taxpayers $600,000 a year in operating costs.
Zeldin, who has vowed to slash agency spending, said in a video posted Monday that the museum cost $4 million to build and attracted fewer than 2,000 visitors since it opened last year.
The museum is “yet another example of waste by the Biden administration,” he said, adding that it is overly focused on environmental justice and climate change, two Biden administration priorities.
While admission is free, the museum’s operating costs — coupled with low attendance — means it costs taxpayers about $315 per visitor, Zeldin said. “This shrine to EJ (environmental justice) and climate change will now be shut down for good,″ he said.
The video was filmed in the EPA museum, which features a pen used by President Lyndon Johnson to sign amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1967 and a first edition of “Silent Spring,″ Rachel Carson’s landmark book on the harm caused by the pesticide DDT. The 1963 book helped launch the environmental movement.
