Ranking Member Markey and Representative Grijalva and I will be introducing legislation that would ensure that large companies extracting minerals belonging to the taxpayer from public lands pay for the privilege of doing so, as they do…
If the leadership of this committee and this House would actually get to work and get the Elementary and Secondary Education Act up to date and working, there would be less need for waivers, I am sure.
H.R. 761 has nothing to do with developing these minerals. In fact, it is about gutting environmental safeguards.
This obstinacy by the majority won't stop my efforts to draw attention to these issues, to push for adoption of serious, meaningful reforms to make offshore drilling safer, not just more prevalent.
