"EPA Gets Funding Boost In Obama's Budget"

"President Obama is again asking Congress to increase spending for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and provide dedicated funding for new climate change regulations.

In his 2017 budget, released Tuesday, Obama proposed spending $8.3 billion on the EPA, roughly $200 million more than Congress appropriated in 2016.

“In the next fiscal year we’re going to build on those promises and make more progress,” EPA administrator Gina McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday."
