Senate Unveils Interior-EPA Appropriation, Rejects Money For BLM Move

"Senate appropriators approved by voice vote this morning a $35.8 billion fiscal 2020 spending bill for EPA, the Interior Department and related agencies, with bipartisan consensus and without any new 'poison pill riders.'

But the bill does seek to limit Interior's ability to relocate hundreds of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) jobs out of Washington, D.C.

That total is slightly less than the $37.3 billion the House approved for those agencies this past summer in a multibill package, H.R. 3055.

Both chambers, however, are unified in rejecting deeps cuts proposed by the White House for several EPA and Interior programs in fiscal 2020."

Kellie Lunney and Kevin Bogardus report for Greenwire September 24, 2019.
