With the Republicans back in charge, Representative Bruce Westerman (R-AR) will be Chairman of the House Natural Resource Committee, which has oversight over the Federal Departments that control land use in America.
One of the Committee’s first acts was to send a letter to the White House informing the Administration that they will be expecting full compliance with the Committee’s requests.
“Many programs like the 30×30 initiative, the administration’s Great American Outdoors Act funding priorities, the unaddressed crisis at the southern border and the humanitarian and environmental harms it creates, extreme policies that limit our ability to address the western drought, efforts to address health and economic security in tribal and insular communities, and administration policies that stifle American energy production, such as the delayed offshore leasing plan, remain a black box to us and to the American people. We intend to pull back the curtain and show how each taxpayer dollar is being spent by this administration and how this administration’s failing policies are impacting American families.”
