Tahoe funding source at risk under Trump plan
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
A Nevada-based program that’s generated more than $300 million to improve Lake Tahoe would take a funding hit under one federal budget proposal.
On Monday the Interior Department published a budget brief that includes a proposal to take $230 million from the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act over the next three years.
The act funds conservation and recreation projects around Nevada, including in the Tahoe basin.
