On background: President Trump released the FY19 budget in early February.
Note: the budget was released after Congress passed the Bipartisan Budget Act. As a result, OMB posted an addendum: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Addendum-to-the-FY-2019-Budget.pdf and EPA was one of only 10 agencies to receive more money after the budget cap deal was reached.

Robert,
Thanks again for your reply. Got another quick question for you: When does the President release the 2019 Budget?
Quick follow-up: Does the EPA expect to see a repeated proposal that eliminates the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative?
Thanks Robert!

Dear EPA Staffer,
Greetings! I'm writing an article about the Great Lakes Research Initiative funding that was cut from the President's budget. Could I chat with someone at your office today for a few minutes?
Here are a few of the questions I'd like to ask:
1. How does it benefit the average Joe or Jane in the upper Midwest to cut the budget of the GLRI? (Providing an answerfor this will help readers understand the rational for balancing the budget this way)
2. What happens to the EPA's collaborative projects that were aided by GLRI money if the budget was cut completely?
3. The budget reminds people that cutting the GLRI will allow the EPA to focus on the "highest national priority" projects. What are those projects?
4. Is the proposed defunding tied to failure of the GLRI to meet goals? Which ones?
Thanks so much for your help! There are so many readers who just don't understand the process that the EPA undergoes every year. Hopefully this will help them understand!
