"Committee Adds More Riders To House Interior-EPA Bill"

"The legislation includes cuts to EPA and the Interior Department."

"The House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday approved its fiscal 2025 spending bill for the Interior Department, EPA and other environmental agencies on a 29-25 vote over fierce Democratic objections.

The bill, which would impose steep cuts on those agencies while knocking out dozens of the Biden administration’s climate initiatives, is unlikely to become law but represents the House GOP’s negotiating position with the Senate.

In a sign of the spending battles to come, Republicans rejected Democratic efforts to strip the bill of riders. Instead, the GOP added more provisions against administration priorities."
