FY25 Budget Testimony: Department of Energy and Environment

Makenna Osborn, Policy Attorney, testified before the Committee on Transportation and the Environment at the FY25 Budget Hearing for the Department of Energy and Environment.

Our testimony details why it is important for the Committee to establish 1) where in DOEE’s budget one time federal funds are replacing local money, 2) which federal grants included in the budget have not been awarded yet and how the final amount DOEE receives could differ from the budget, and 3) which federal grants come with restrictions that significantly constrain how DOEE can use the funding.
