Rep. Christian Menefee presses EPA for answers on contamination in disenfranchised neighborhoods


Menefee is turning up the pressure on the Environmental Protection Agency. The Houston congressman says Fifth Ward and Kashmere Gardens residents have waited years for answers on creosote contamination and still don’t have a clear timeline, a clear report, or clear communication.

He’s demanding details on the delayed investigation, unexplained new sampling, and how the EPA plans to keep the community informed after the Trump administration gutted environmental justice offices and froze billions in grants. Residents want transparency.
