WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 2024 will be exciting, in a good sense. There is an exceptional level of uncertainty in Washington for the New Year, even in comparison to past election years. Two wars tugging at the national attention and the federal budget, a divided government now referring to just the House of Representatives alone, and an election year with one of the presumptive Presidential candidates under 91 indictments for crimes in multiple jurisdictions. Other than that, for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it will definitely not just be "another day at the office." As an example, the new House Speaker marshaled a House budget bill that would cut EPA funding by almost 40 percent!
