As Democrats appear poised to back out of a deal with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to pass a permitting reform plan, Republicans have introduced their own version of the measure.
Fellow West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R) is leading the charge for a legislative effort to streamline the approval process for energy projects, which would benefit such projects slated for construction in West Virginia, according to The Hill.
“Since our calls for action and offers to see legislative text from the permitting ‘deal’ remain unheeded, Republicans are introducing this legislation today to deliver solutions to the roadblocks, delays, and postponements of key infrastructure projects across the country,” she said, per the outlet.
Manchin announced in late July that he had cut a deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in which he would support the passage of the $740 billion spending package, dubbed the “Inflation Reduction Act,” in exchange for a separate measure to streamline the approval of energy projects that would benefit West Virginia.
WE are in charge!
YOU get NOTHING!
You are the ENEMY!
ALL OF YOU!!!!!
And don’t forget, we help them along the way while giving you nothing but cute soundbites.
Manchin, you are an idiot. The only negotiation I would have with Schumer is what I was to beat his ass with.
I’m from the Republican party and I’m here to help.
Useful idiot.
Manchin learns just how far you can trust a demo-leftist. Now if the spinless Republicans would just figure this out.
So what incredeible leverage did Manchin have over the Dems? Evidently, that was all BS like he is
I’m gonna start praying & going to church & anything else that needs to be done to go to heaven because hell is crammed full of lying sorry-ass despicable democrats. What a bunch of psycho assholes.
Manchin is nothing less than a liar & a coward. There was never a ‘deal’ only his lies. He is in the wrong party & belongs to the Dark Side.
