Joe Manchin Releases Bill to Speed Up Energy Projects as Lawmakers Balk - WSJ

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) and several Democratic colleagues are pushing Mr. Schumer to keep the spending package and permitting package separate, stating in a letter that environmental issues “should be examined through detailed committee consideration and a robust floor debate separate from the urgent need to see that the government stays open.”

Yes, let’s be super careful about the environment and stick to established procedure. But when it comes to spending taxpayer dollars, let’s throw caution to the wind and YOLO!!!!!!
