A budget document obtained by the National Association of Clean Air Agencies says the White House is proposing to slash Environmental Protection Agency funding that pays for Great Lakes pollution cleanup by 97 percent.
The potential cuts are part of President Donald Trump’s initial 20-18 budget proposal.
The proposal would virtually eliminate annual Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) funding, slashing it from $300 million to $10 million among other cuts that would altogether reduce the EPA’s total budget by a quarter.
