EPA, Light, and Ryan's Budget

After sending a nastygram to my Congress-critter about Ryan's Treachery (the budget), he was kind enough to write back and state that The Treachery had 'reduced EPA funding and had cut back EPA personnel to pre-2000 levels' (or some such dramatic language.)

Yah, that must have been some real serious cutbacks, there, ain'a hey??

"...That's one of the reasons why we have to be worried about light pollution. It's in our portfolio, and we're thinking about it and there are steps we can take,..."  AmThink quoting WaExaminer


So said the near-staffless/near-budgetless Gina McCarthy of EPA, just after the Ryan Treachery was passed.

Maybe Sensenbrenner can explain this if Ryan helps him.  A lot.
