Why this matters in Terrell Hills News
The stalled Make America Healthy Again agenda has significant implications for Terrell Hills residents, who may be exposed to harmful chemicals and pesticides in their daily lives. As a community within the San Antonio area, Terrell Hills is not immune to the effects of environmental pollution, which can have devastating consequences for public health. The EPA's failure to release a formal agenda outlining protections against these hazards is a concern for local families, who may be worried about the safety of their air, water, and food.
