Dear Larry -

Trump's draft EPA budget is in -- and it's one giant, water-poisoning, coal ash-spilling, asthma-inducing love letter to his Big Energy cronies.

The truly draconian document puts wildlife and human health in serious jeopardy by (among other things):

Halting the Clean Power Plan and its first-ever carbon emissions limits on dirty, coal-fired power plants.
Decimating the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which protects the planet's largest freshwater source, by slashing its funding from $300 million to $10 million.
Threatening the Chesapeake Bay, the country's largest estuary, by cutting funding for monitoring and compliance with environmental laws from $73 million to $5 million.
Stripping funding for toxic cleanup in communities contaminated by industrial waste.
