This newly proposed RMP makes nearly one million acres of land categorized as \u201cAreas of Critical Environmental Concern\u201d off limits for energy production.\n\nCongresswoman Hageman writes, \u201cThe people of Wyoming deserve better. We deserve a plan that respects our economic needs, our traditions, and the careful stewardship of our lands that we have practiced for generations. America as a whole deserves to benefit from the economic and national security contributions Wyoming makes through its extractive and livestock industries. Wyoming is the backbone of American energy production \u2013 contributing to greater energy independence from foreign bad actors. The BLM is enabling those bad actors to a greater extent than anyone by crushing America\u2019s best energy producers through regulation\u2026.I strongly urge the BLM to scrap the current proposal and begin anew, this time in true collaboration with the people of Wyoming.\u201d\n\nIn addition to blocking energy production, grazing will be banned from 1,545 acres within the RMP area \u2013 with no guarantee that additional grazing areas will not be blocked in the future. Ironically, while it seems the BLM ignored Wyomingites\u2019 input on this proposal, they did listen to unreliable energy NGOs and have reduced right of way exclusions to allow for so-called renewable energy development.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"]], "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://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-letter-blm-director-stone-manning-demands-scrapping-rock-springs-rmp"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8501247502863407, "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"}
