Reduction in Environmental Budgets (6/12)

  • Trump’s Taxpayer First Budget reduces the environmental budget. The EPA’s budget was reduced by 31% while the Department of Agriculture’s budget was reduced by 21%. With a reduction in the environmental budgets, it will become difficult for the EPA and Department of Agriculture to adequately watch for violations destroying land, air, and water. Moreover, it would also become difficult to convict these greedy polluters.
