It is my job to ensure that the voice of the people of central Washington are heard.

The people of Utah had no opportunity to express in person their concerns, and I just want to speak for them today to say they are very frustrated.

I find it really unbelievable that those are the rules and regs under this Administration.

Oh, I see, it was the previous administration's fault that there are 193 tons of garbage that had been dropped on the Federal lands. Is that what you are saying?

The BLM has drifted so far from its mission that it has become unrecognizable.

It is unsurprising, although still disappointing, that President Biden's budget is once again underwhelming.

These are little more than thinly veiled attempts to lock up millions of acres of land from multiple uses.

These priorities are out of line with the American people and the communities, families, and small businesses that live and operate closest to Federal lands.

Since taking office, President Biden has been using tools like the Antiquities Act to lock up lands in pursuit of his radical 30x30 agenda.

Sadly, the public lands access that sustains the lifeblood of our communities is under attack.
