Environmental Protection Agency's Budget slashed

House Passes Bill That Would Slash EPA Budget By 40%

There's only so much you can do in Congress when only having the edge in the House of Representatives. Republicans are trying it anyway.

They just approved a bill in the House that would cut the EPA's budget by nearly 40%.

"I am pleased to see the House pass my Interior and Environment Appropriations bill, and I thank my colleagues for their support of this fiscally responsible legislation," said Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, the chairman of the House Appropriation Committee's Interior and Environment Subcommittee.

"As Chairman of this subcommittee, I vowed to create a bill that reduces unnecessary federal spending while prioritizing the critical needs and essential functions within these agencies," he continued. "This bill does just that by reining in the Environmental Protection Agency, fighting the misguided Obama-era Waters of the United States rule, and barring an Endangered Species Act listing of the greater sage grouse."
