Senate Appropriators Spare Interior and EPA from Deep Cuts

The Senate Appropriations Committee has approved four key appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2024, including Defense, Interior-Environment, LHHS (Labor, Health and Human Services, Education), and Homeland Security. The bills received bipartisan support and provide funding for various priorities such as strengthening national defense, protecting the environment, supporting tribal communities, investing in education and healthcare, and enhancing border security. The committee's successful passage of all twelve appropriations bills marks a significant achievement in the legislative process, although the bills still need to be passed by the full Senate, the House, and signed into law.
