American Clean Energy and Security Act on the Horn Wrap next Tuesday
Can’t believe it has been over a week since I was at the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ midyear meeting. We had a great time in Ruidoso, and I received some helpful information and input regarding issues and projects that USCA needs to work on here in Washington D.C.
Several folks have been asking about the climate change bill passing the House. If you would like to see how your Representative voted, you can click here. Folks have been asking about my thoughts on whether the Senate will pass this bill. A few notable factors play into this equation…. First, each Senator is influenced by the constituents from the entire state–on average, that means a Senator has more stakeholders weighing in as compared to a Representative. Also the Senate will be debating both health care reform and the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice appointee Sonia Sotomayor. If the climate change bill advances from the Senate committee, it will face a log jam for time in the Senate floor. And that is probably not a bad thing! In any case, the Senate version of the climate change bill will be noticeably different from the House version.
We’ll be talking about the climate change bill and other key pieces of legislation affecting U.S. ranchers and business owners on next week’s Horn Wrap Call:
