The Ohio House of Representatives’ plan to cut $120 million from H2Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine’s flagship water quality program, jeopardizes the state’s fragile progress in combating harmful algal blooms and safeguarding clean drinking water for millions, according to the National Wildlife Federation (NWF).
“Slashing funding for H2Ohio isn’t just a budget cut. It’s a gamble with Ohio’s water, health, and economy,” said Gail Hesse, Great Lakes water program director for NWF.
