Congresswoman Betty McCollum (DFL-Minn.), Ranking Member of the House Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee, today led House Democrats opposing the fiscal year 2019 Interior-Environment Appropriations bill during the Appropriations Committee's mark-up of the legislation. House Republicans advanced their bill on a 25-20 vote with all Democrats voting in opposition.
"The Interior-Environment bill funds important safeguards for clean air and clean water, conservation of our public lands and endangered species, and vital investments in Native health, education, and the safety of tribal communities," Congresswoman McCollum said. "This bill includes riders that undermine these efforts and makes unacceptable cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency."
