The House on Thursday approved a $32.1 billion funding bill for the Department of Interior and Environmental Protection Agency that takes aim at the heart of President Obama’s environmental agenda.
In its final vote before a seven-week summer break, the House approved the appropriations bill 231-196. Four Democrats voted in favor of the bill, while 15 Republicans voted against. It’s the first time the lower chamber passed the spending bill for the agencies since 2009.
