"this budget is dead on arrival."

"It looks to me like this budget proposes to create a foregone conclusion that State-delegated environmental programs die on the vine."

"I was originally heartened by your commitment to toxics reform, but last week EPA announced new policies that would weaken the risk evaluations at the heart of the program."

"I want to emphasize that this is simply a proposal. Congress has not yet acted on it."
