Thirteen AGs Sent Letter to Congress Urging Full Funding for the EPA, Opposing Anti-Environment Riders

SEPTEMBER 13, 2018

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood led a coalition of 13 attorneys general sent a letter to congressional leaders urging an agreement on a federal budget for fiscal year 2019 that preserves the Environmental Protection Agency’s funding levels relative to its FY 2018 budget. The AGs also argued against including any anti-environment riders in the budget agreement that would “prohibit, de-fund or otherwise amend key health and environmental protection policies of the Agency.”
