WASHINGTON, DC – League of Conservation Voters (LCV) President Gene Karpinski released this statement on President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2016 budget request:

“President Obama is clearly moving full speed ahead to tackle climate change, hold polluters accountable, and protect our country’s special places. We commend him for scrapping the irrational and harmful sequestration cuts and prioritizing investing in our country’s future. This is a roadmap for addressing the biggest challenge of our time with solutions that work for the economy and the environment.”
