Harriet Hageman actually said...
American economies can only get a return on our Federal lands in much of the West through two things. The first is grazing and the second is through mineral extraction or logging. The very lifestyle of rural communities is at risk when burdensome regulations like this cripple the businesses that allow these communities to flourish. The revenue provided to the state through mining and agriculture is essential to our lives and our economy. This revenue funds our schools, health care, public safety, and other essential services.
