Dozens of Democrats in the House of Representatives are urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) not to include changes to the U.S. energy permitting process in the government funding measure, despite promises to reform the system being key to convincing Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to vote for the recently-signed Inflation Reduction Act.
“We urge you to ensure that these provisions are kept out of a continuing resolution or any other must-pass legislation this year,” Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, and 71 other Democrats wrote to Pelosi on Sept. 10.
