Governor and Mayor Demand Fair Share for New York Harbor
Friday, February 12, 2010 - 2:24pm
Paterson and Bloomberg ask Obama to rework EPA's 2011 budget to include $52 million for the NY-NJ Harbor

Calling attention to the fact that the New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary receives no specific funding in the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed 2011 budget, Governor Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg have challenged the Obama Administration on the issue, requesting $52 million dollars to address the disparity of resources for restoration relative to other regions.

The EPA's budget for next year includes significant funding for Chesapeake Bay ($63 million), the Mississippi River ($17 million), and the Great Lakes restoration initiative ($300 million) -- but nothing for the New York region.
