It\u2019s a commonsense step to cut waste, reduce delays, and support job creation.\u201d\n\nOn the FENCES Act:\n\n\u201cAmerican workers and manufacturers shouldn\u2019t be punished by far-left climate activists for pollution they didn\u2019t create,\u201d said Congressman Fitzgerald. \u201cThis legislation ensures states aren\u2019t unfairly held back by emissions coming from foreign factories in countries like China and Mexico or from foreign natural disasters like wildfires. This change provides states with more flexibility and certainty in the permitting process and, importantly, cuts compliance costs for manufacturers while maintaining the Clean Air Act\u2019s key environmental protections.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-05T06:35:23Z", "2026-06-05T06:36:42Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fitzgerald.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-fitzgerald-votes-push-back-green-new-deal-overreach"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8842476420104504, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
