Washington DC -- The Biden administration today released its budget request for discretionary spending.
Clean Water Action President and CEO, Bob Wendelgass, released the following response:
23 local elected officials from throughout Allegheny County signed a joint letter sent to Dr. Debra Bogen, Director of the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD), asking for improvements in proposed new air quality rules currently under consideration.
“This proposal would concentrate too much power in the hands of a single position – the mayor -- while reducing the power of council members who are elected by district,” said David Foster, Clean Water Action’s State Director.
"Today is a good day. We look forward to working with Congress to ensure that the American Jobs Plan is just a downpayment -- if we really want to build back better, we need to go big."
“I thought we were trying to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies not increase them!"
