Martin Heinrich: “More than 500 family in New Mexico alone, and 65,000 families across the Nation, could lose access to affordable housing…”

Our whole premise as we approached this permitting bill was: How do we create a faster process, not lower the bar on standards.

We want to build the jobs in New Mexico that you can build a family around, and that's what unions are all about. That's the way I grew up with my dad.

And some of the secret sauce in this was just the fact that we had four people who were genuinely committed to a balanced package that both sides could support.

In the short term, what I'd really like to see is a hand-in-glove approach between Russia and the World Health Organization. That would tell us a lot.
