John B. King: Crack down on polluters, especially serial offenders

As Governor, John will:
• Crack down on polluters, especially serial offenders.
• Ensure government agencies take a proactive approach to environmental justice when drafting rules and policies, instead of a reactive one that waits until problems arise.
• Make sure stakeholders from front line and fence line communities historically affected by pollution and environmental injustice have a role in decision-making.
• Tighten our environmental regulations to protect our air and water.
