The Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, chaired by U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), on Thursday marked up a GOP appropriations bill for fiscal year 2024. A Republican fact sheet celebrates proposed “cuts to wasteful spending” and “claw-backs of prior appropriations,” highlighting that it “reins in” the Environmental Protection Agency, “limits abuse of the Endangered Species Act,” and provides protections for the fossil fuel industry.

The GOP proposal would slash appropriations for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The former provides low-interest loans for infrastructure projects like wastewater facilities while the latter provides assistance for initiatives like improving drinking water treatment and fixing old pipes.

    I can’t help but notice you are very aggressive with your words, I recommend a lighter tone. I’m not referring to this post in specific, I checked your profile.

    You’ll probably get banned after some time, lemmy moderators here are nice and open people but you need to be a little bit more civil. It’s something I’m always watching out for.

    I also noticed you joined on July 8th, be prepared you’ll get some stalkers soon, block them.
