If this is because of the feds pushing it, there are so many questions, namely, how long has this been looming while the mayor's office ignored it?
15 years.

Why is the Biden EPA/DOJ pushing so hard instead of working collaboratively?
They aren't. Thus Graves calling DOJ/EPA and them saying the NDA is bullshite. The NDA was a lie propagated by Broome so she could force a fee, rather than a tax, expeditiously. A fee is voted on by metro council. A tax must be voted on by the citizens of the parish.
Hudson stated that there are many avenues to not tack on a fee. He's outlined several cuts to other departments that can be made that would partially fund what is needed. But, he stated the mayor's office will not disclose the specifics and were simply trying to rush the vote with no consideration for cutting other programs.
