    The proposed changes would disproportionately impact projects protecting clean water in traditionally Democratic states like New York and Washington by eliminating their funding, while similar projects in battleground states like Florida would remain funded. Local officials in Pennsylvania also observed increased litter at a marina and along shorelines. Improperly disposed cigarette butts can take over a decade to break down while polluting the environment with toxic chemicals.

    “The changes also disproportionately

    affect traditionally Democrat-leaning


    states, while leaving battleground states
    alone. Projects protecting clean water in
    states like New York and Washington
    would be eliminated, while similar
    efforts in Florida go unmolested.”

    “The Espyville Marina's
    dumpster is full every day which
    is unusual. We're also having
    litter issues along our
    shorelines.”

    - Pymatuning State Park Superintendent, Dan


    Bickel
    “It’s been decimated by
    people who have never
    hiked before, coming back
    there with no morals”
    - Ellie Mora
    “Each discarded butt takes
    12 years to break down, all
    the while leaching toxic
    elements such as cadmium,
    lead, and arsenic into soil
    and waterways.”
    - Earth Talk
