China Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 US House panel investigates ties between US Interior secretary, environmentalists Republican members of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources are raising concerns about ties between Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and an Indigenous group from her home state that advocates for halting oil and gas production on public lands. The members on Monday sent a letter to Haaland requesting documents related to her interactions with Pueblo Action Alliance as well as those of her daughter, Somah, who has worked with the group and has rallied against fossil fuel development. The request comes just days after Haaland decided to withdraw hundreds of square miles in New Mexico from oil and gas production for the next 20 years on the outskirts of Chaco Culture National Historical Park — an area considered sacred by some Native American communities. U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman, the Arkansas Republican who chairs the committee, said Congress has a duty to oversee federal agencies and the cabinet secretaries who lead them and that what he called Haaland’s “alliances” present potential conflicts of interest. “The committee is calling on Secretary Haaland to shed light on these ties between her family and this extremist group so we can determine the potentially unethical way these types of decisions are being made throughout the federal bureaucracy,” Westerman said in a statement. The Interior Department had no comment on the letter, agency spokesperson Melissa Schwartz said. Haaland — who is from the Laguna Pueblo and is the first Native American to lead a Cabinet agency — has said the work to protect land around Chaco has been ongoing for decades and that numerous public meetings and consultations with tribal leaders were a part of the process. Julia Bernal, executive director of Pueblo Action Alliance, called the Chaco decision a compromise because the group has been pushing for more expansive protections. “The Alliance has urged the Biden administration to protect ancestral lands and address the climate emergency by phasing out fossil fuel extraction on public lands,” Bernal told The Associated Press in an email. “Chairman Westerman’s allegations are a misguided attempt to deflect attention from the fossil fuel industry’s role in the climate crisis and the destruction of ancestral lands.” Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) ...and in other news: NEAL STATEMENT ON GOP TAX SCAM 2.0 SPRINGFIELD, MA—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement responding to Republicans’ tax legislation that will be marked up in Committee next week: “It’s Republican clockwork. Not even a week after their manufactured default crisis and it is back to tax cuts for the wealthy and well-connected. This stoops to a new low even for them: retroactive corporate tax cuts, next-to-nothing for the most vulnerable children and families and sneaking in favors for Big Oil. Make no mistake about it, they are laying the groundwork for even bigger cuts in 2025, and the only way they will ever achieve a balanced budget is by sticking seniors and working families with the bill. And while Americans are sheltering inside to avoid the fallout of climate-spurred wildfires, Republicans think now is a good time to repeal the largest climate investment in our history to pay for their corporate handouts. “When Democrats cut taxes, workers and families can afford life’s necessities, and the child poverty rate plummets. When Republicans cut taxes, they falsely claim they will pay for themselves, and workers’ wages will rise. It’s failed trickle-down economics. It didn’t work in 2001, or 2003, or 2017, and it won’t work now. They will pay lip service to small businesses and workers, but once again, Republicans are stacking the deck against them, making it clear that powerful corporate donors are their top priority.” https://democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/neal-statement-gop-tax-scam-20 Edited June 11, 2023 by EmirOfShmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
