Biden's EPA Chief tells Lightfoot to halt General Iron Permit
The Chief of the Environmental Protection Agency has ordered Mayor Lori Lightfoot to halt General Iron's permit for a facility on the southeast side.
Opponents say the car shredding operation is a high pollutant that was pushed out of a northside community over health hazards.
The EPA Chief says he too has serious concerns, and wants the permit delayed until a thorough pollution assessment can be completed.
