Description

Tribal environmental programs, like water quality monitoring, could be hard hit under proposed cuts to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It’s not just a problem for the Yakama Nation. Tribal officials say losing EPA funding would be a problem for most all tribes, not just in the Northwest. Tribes here have called the situation “alarming,” “frustrating” and “scary.”
