The PERMIT act will exacerbate this reality and task our most vulnerable communities with bearing the increased costs of polluters. I say let's hold the polluters accountable. HR 3898 will also put these disadvantaged communities public health at risk, jacking up the price of their health care on top of their utility bills. I rise for affordability. I also rise against the increasing contamination of pfas, toxic forever chemicals in our water. Communities throughout West Michigan are working to to combat PFAS contamination throughout our rivers and streams. (01:22–01:34)
