U.S. Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has expressed his disapproval following the Biden-Harris administration's release of its record of decision for the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan.
Senator Barrasso criticized the timing and intent behind the decision. "The Biden-Harris administration is issuing yet another misguided and malicious midnight rule on their way out the door," he stated.
He also highlighted that Wyoming Governor Gordon had recently submitted a review of the plan, implying that his concerns were not adequately addressed by federal authorities. "Given that Wyoming Governor Gordon just submitted his review of this plan two days ago, it is clear that the Department of the Interior did not seriously consider or respond to his concerns," Barrasso added.
Looking ahead, Senator Barrasso expressed optimism about working with President Trump to overturn what he described as a "disastrous plan."
