摘要

Senate environment committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) says she would be open to cutting EPA's fiscal year 2011 budget to the $9 billion level proposed by the Obama administration for FY12, a move that would result in an additional $900 million cut from EPA's budget compared to a Democratic spending bill that failed earlier this week.Boxer told Inside EPA following a March 9 press conference would support bringing EPA's FY11 budget down to $9 billion, the level proposed in the Obama administration's FY12 budget request, but would not back levels falling anywhere below that number.
