Scoop: Biden’s EPA awarded a tiny social justice advocacy group $20M to replace lead pipes across N.C. and “restore wetlands.”

The problem? The group has never replaced a single pipe. It only recently filed as a nonprofit, its finances are a mystery, and it has 7 staff members. One of Democracy Green’s top accomplishments includes providing fewer than 200 families in central North Carolina with $10 home water quality test kits and, in some cases, with $30 water filtration pitchers.

Lead pipe projects are often completed by plumbers and cost ~$4,700.

SCOOP: Biden's EPA awarded a $5B eco grant to a group that had employed Jahi Wise, the senior EPA official overseeing that same grant program.

After his team at EPA disbursed the grant, Wise left to join a Soros group as a fellow.

The situation raises major ethics concerns. 🧵 The grant recipient is the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC). Wise worked as the policy director for CGC until January 2021.

He then joined the Biden White House Climate Office. After the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in late 2022, Wise was appointed as the founding director of the EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Program.

It was under that program that his recent employer CGC received the massive $5B grant.
