House Republicans Would Cut EPA Spending 9 Percent
House Republicans proposed a spending bill Tuesday that cuts the budget at the Environmental Protection Agency by 9 percent and tries to prevent the Obama administration from enacting several regulations.
At the top of their regulatory hit list is a proposed rule on cutting carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants.
The bill made public Tuesday by the House Appropriations Committee would reduce the EPA workforce to 15,000 people, the same level as in 1989. The agency had more than 17,300 employees five years ago and has gradually lost employees since.
