4) Congress: House Vote Leaves Families at Risk The U. S. House of Representatives passed a funding bill on Friday severely limiting the federal government’s ability to protect American families and our environment from dangerous pollution. The measure cuts funding that would enable the Environmental Protection Agency to hold polluters accountable while giving those same polluters generous government handouts to continue dirty business as usual. The measure now moves to the Senate. |
