Says Ranking Member on Energy and Water Subcommitte
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur (OH-9), ranking member on the Energy and Water subcommittee of House Appropriations, said today the Obama Administration budget reflects a renewed focus on addressing phosphorus and nitrogen pollution in America's waters.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) budget identifies nutrition pollution as "one of the nation's most widespread and challenging environmental problems."
"It is the correct decision, considering the implications of the closures," said Congresswoman Kaptur. "It gives proponents additional time to make the case for the ‘contract' towers."
Congresswoman Kaptur said the threat of legal action by local officials around the country, including Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, clearly played a role in the FAA's decision to delay the closures until June 15.
