>The Joint Committee on Natural and Economic Resources (NER) has flagged
>DPPEA for possible cutting or elimination. DPPEA was the only environmental
>division flagged.
>
>Senator Martin (D-Pitt), one of NER's co-chairs, appears to be
>giving tacit approval if not direct encouragement to some of the Republican
>members (eg, Betsy Cochrane, Senator, R-Davie) to lead this attack. It is not
>a new attack - DPPEA in its old form, OWR, has been likewise targeted in the
>past, just as the funding of the RBAC was almost stopped by Martin last year.
>
>Supporters may want to be alerted to this issue and take the
>opportunity to express support of DPPEA to NER
>members, as well as to the leadership (Rep. Brubaker, Senator
>Basnight) and to key members such as Senator Odom. NER is expected
>to make its final recommendations as early as Friday, March 14th.
