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.”
