Fourteen AGs Urged Congress to Fund EPA, Eliminate Anti-Environment Riders

MARCH 9, 2018

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman led a coalition of 14 attorneys general in sending a letter to congressional leaders urging them “to ensure that funding for the Environmental Protection Agency [(EPA)] is maintained at least at its FY 2017 levels, that EPA’s vital core and specific programs receive necessary continued funding, and that all anti-environmental riders that would prohibit, de-fund or otherwise amend key health and environmental protection policies of the Agency are omitted from the spending measure.”
