House Republicans are considering a major spending bill for fiscal year 2018 that contains a wide range of provisions that adhere to Trump administration priorities with cuts to clean energy and Appalachia programs.

In a Tuesday letter to House members, League of Conservation Voters’ president Gene Karpinski urged them to oppose the bill, saying the spending package “includes dangerous public health and environmental policy riders while also cutting critical investments in our renewable energy future.”

While an omnibus spending package would include all appropriations bills, H.R. 3219, also known as the “minibus,” includes four appropriations bills: defense, military construction and veterans’ affairs, legislative branch, and energy and water.

House Republicans said Tuesday they had a consensus on the four spending bills included in the minibus package, according to a Roll Call report. “We do not yet have consensus on the other eight bills,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).
