House and Senate Would Eliminate Over $150 Million in Critical Funds, Slash EPA Staff by Over One-Quarter;
Proposed Budgets Cut Vital Programs Including Enforcement, Scientific Research, and Environmental Justice
BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today joined a coalition of 13 states in calling on the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to reject “deep and damaging” cuts in funding for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and anti-environmental riders in federal budget bills. In a letter to Congressional leadership, the coalition charges that the EPA cuts and riders currently proposed by both houses “will lead to more pollution of our air, water, and communities, and an accompanying increase in damage to public health.” The coalition is urging Congress to pass a final budget that fully funds EPA and omits any anti-environmental riders.
“As forest fires rage on the West Coast, communities struggle to recover from multiple hurricanes, and States work to reduce pollution in our air and water, we should be discussing how to increase and not slash the budget of the agency charged with protecting our environment,” said Attorney General Frosh.

Frosh is an idiot. Maryland sucks as a state. Bunch of libtards
Frosh why do you think there is no growth in Maryland it's because of so many environmental rules you can't build anything here affordable.
Instead of stroking his ego...would be nice if he spent some time stopping the slaughter in Harm City.
To 5:33 Poster that said it's because MD has so many environmental regs you can't do anything.
Response: You've got that right!! We've finally got a pro-growth President and here in MD we (our citizens) are hamstrung by a derilec Attorney General and Democratic controlled senate and legislature.
Need a taxpayer revolt here but too many on the public dole to happen.
Typical blow hard democrat - we can start by slashing his salary
Disband the epa just a bunch of leeches living off of the taxpayer
It's time for Frosh to stop pushing his gay agenda on taxpayers.
Easy fix, we moved to a friendly state!
Frosh needs to mind his own business. He needs to resign.
WTH voted for this clown??
