Trump Wants the EPA Radon Program Cut. So Do Some Scientists
Woe be to the Environmental Protection Agency. If President Trump gets his way, the federal agency will lose 31 percent of its annual budget\u2014about $3 billion. Supporters of Trump\u2019s 2018 budget proposal call it a \u201cback to basics\u201d approach, carving away what they see as the agency\u2019s regulatory overreach. Opponents are similarly pithy: The EPA\u2019s former director labeled Trump\u2019s proposal a \u201cscorched Earth budget.
