Earthjustice Statement on Anti-Environment Interior Appropriations Bill

Earthjustice issued a statement opposing the House's Interior and Environment Appropriations bill, citing significant budget cuts to environmental agencies and policy provisions that favor corporate polluters over public health and conservation.

• Earthjustice claims the House's Interior and Environment Appropriations bill includes more than $100 million in budget reductions targeting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and conservation efforts within the Department of the Interior.
• The bill is criticized for containing 'poison pill riders' that threaten endangered species, public health, and clean water, while seeking to accelerate drilling activities near wilderness areas and off the coasts.
• Martin Hayden of Earthjustice asserts that House Republicans used political maneuvers to bypass controversial votes on specific issues, such as drilling in the Arctic Natural Wildlife Refuge.
