SLASHING EPA FUNDING.
Representative Ralph Norman (R-SC) offered an amendment to H.R. 3354, the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2018, which would reduce the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget by approximately $1.9 billion, in accordance with the Trump administration’s rejected budget proposal. This amendment would severely weaken the EPA’s ability to enforce clean air, clean water, and public health safeguards for communities. The House rejected the Norman amendment.
