On February 28, 2025, the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) issued the following public statement:
“States carry out more than 90% of the nation’s federal environmental laws in communities around the U.S., and states and their legislatures depend on Congress to support our efforts through grants and partnerships with EPA. Dramatic cuts to EPA should not be made at the expense of the states who need increased federal support to provide clean and safe air, land, and water for all of our communities and to grow the economy for all of the nation.”
