The Trump administration released its “skinny budget” guidance today, which outlined priorities for Congress.
Following is a response from Alexandra Adams, chief policy officer at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council):
“This takes a radical view of the role of government, slashing programs that support our families and workers to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. It opens a new front in the worst White House assault ever on the environment and public health, with reckless cuts meant to take the nation’s environmental and public health guardians off the beat. Every member of Congress owes it to their constituents to denounce this cruel budget.”
NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) is an international nonprofit environmental organization with more than 3 million members and online activists. Established in 1970, NRDC uses science, policy, law and people power to confront the climate crisis, protect public health and safeguard nature.
