Congress

Gary Peters’ Last Act: One More Push for the Pentagon to Clean Up PFAS

The Michigan Democrat is introducing a bipartisan bill compelling the Defense Department to act, in a fight he knows will outlast him in Congress.

Sen. Gary Peters speaks during a Senate committee meeting.

“The community embraced the Air Force for all those years, and then they moved out and left this mess — and they need to come back in and clean it up,”

Sen. Gary Peters said. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images)
