"EPA: Congress Bucks White House On Environmental Spending"

"Congressional appropriators dismissed President Trump's drive to slash EPA's budget, opting instead for the status quo.

Negotiators released legislation late last night to fund several agencies like the Department of the Interior and EPA for the remainder of the fiscal year and avoid another partial government shutdown. Spending authority is set to run out tomorrow, but the House and Senate are expected to vote on the spending package today.

EPA would receive nearly $8.1 billion for fiscal 2019 under the bill — similar funding to what was enacted for the agency in fiscal 2018."

Kevin Bogardus reports for Greenwire February 14, 2019.
