[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SEATTLE - Puget Sound would reportedly lose 93 percent of its funding from the Environmental Protection Agency under President Donald Trump's proposed federal budget.

The Oregonian reports the National Association of Clean Air Agencies obtained a copy of the plan for major environmental cuts under Trump and new EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.

Funding for restoration of Puget Sound would go from $28 million in the fiscal year 2016 to $2 million in 2018.

Some of the deepest cuts reportedly come to programs focusing on environmental education and environmental justice. Pruitt battled the EPA multiple times while serving as attorney general of Oklahoma.

Let's make Puget Sound the shithole Oklahoma is.

1. Wonder how the shellfish industry

people voted. They are losing their beds to dead zones and the cleanup was supposed to help them.
The Port Angeles Harbor had started their cleanup - industries poured their toxic materials into the harbor for decades and were now required to clean it up. So much for that now.

2. Running tally: Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound. What's next?

Trump hates America.
