On the recordJuly 11, 2012
This law isn't jut outdated, it is outrageous. On the game show ``The Price is Right,'' a $1 bid is strategic. But under the Republican giveaway game show, it is an actual price that these huge industries can continue paying for the rights to our public lands. The Republicans want to continue giving away grazing rights for a little more than $1 per acre and allow oil companies to warehouse public lands for $1.50 an acre. And after more than 250 votes against the environment and more than 110 votes to benefit the oil and gas industries, the American people are going to look at the record of this Republican majority and say, ``No deal.'' I urge a ``no'' vote on the Republican proposal.
