I strongly disagree with this decision. The Administration should not raise costs on America's soda ash producers without first ensuring that China and other countries scrap their unfair trade practices.

Since 2009, China has given its synthetic soda ash producers a nine percent rebate on China's value added tax.

Why should any family trust the EPA or the Corps with this Waters of the United States rule that will ultimately empower unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to steamroll families, take their college savings, clean out their retirement…

To me, this demonstrates clear failure of a policy that was established to provide for the recovery of imperiled plants and animals.

I can't calculate that loss to our economy. I can't calculate that lost opportunity cost.

You testified before this committee in May that Wyoming had met every goal set by Fish and Wildlife, and it was time to delist the gray wolf.

It hurts your moose, it hurts your elk, it hurts your livestock.

I don't have the authority to manage grizzly bears or any other species in my State.
