Letter to the editor: Neither DEP’s name or role should be changed

Thank you for publishing the well-written letter “Ramifications of DEP name change” (June 12, TribLIVE) about the Pennsylvania Senate’s attempt to change the name (and role!) of the Department of Environmental Protection.

Pennsylvanians do need protection from pollution produced by big industries. We have a right under the Pennsylvania Constitution to clean air and water, but massive chemical companies ignore the rules.

We need the DEP to be the enforcer. I hope the Pennsylvania House hears us and rejects the Senate’s name and role change.
