VIDEO: Today I spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives in opposition to the Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act, discussing how the bill has the potential to negatively impact the public review process, which has been vital to projects around the country including in the Third District of Massachusetts. The bill also could force federal agencies to rush environmental reviews and assessments of energy needs. I proposed an amendment to the legislation, which would exempt any pipeline from the arbitrary timelines established in the bill if the proposed route crosses federal, state, or local land designated for conservation or recreation. However, the Republican Majority blocked the amendment from even coming to the floor for a vote. https://youtube/watch?v=C887XtT9IcY
