'Left's agenda': White House to cancel $8 bn climate fund; 15 states to take hit

The White House has announced plans to cancel nearly $8 billion in funding for climate-related programs, calling the move a measure against what it terms the "Left's climate agenda. " Russ Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, said in a post, "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled." He added that further details on the affected projects would come from the Department of Energy. The funding cuts target projects across 15 states, including California, New York, and Massachusetts — all of which have at least one Democratic senator who voted against a clean continuing resolution to fund the government. States losing funding: - California - Colorado - Connecticut - Delaware - Hawaii - Illinois
