Trump is reportedly planning to repeal Obama-era flood standards, possibly resulting in billions in damages
Speaking about President Trump’s plans to repeal Obama’s executive order, Eli Lehrer of the libertarian R Street Institute told Climatewire: “This will inevitably expand the need for disaster aid, both to rebuild federal facilities likely to be destroyed, and to help people who would be lured into harm’s way by dumb decisions by central planners.”
Lehrer added: “So if President Trump is committed to fiscal responsibility, he really needs to take a close look at this. This will not result in smaller government.” Read more about the executive order and Trump’s plans to rescind it at Climatewire.
