“I am deeply concerned by reports the Trump Administration plans to close the EPA’s regional office in Chicago. Such an action would be irresponsible – especially in light of last week’s chemical spill in Lake Michigan – and demonstrate clear disregard for the health and safety of millions of residents of the Great Lakes region,” said Senator Durbin. “I will do everything in my power as a United States Senator and enlist the bipartisan support of my Great Lakes region colleagues to ensure that this plan never happens.”
