Even though the Fish and Wildlife Service has decided the greater sage-grouse doesnt merit protections under the Endangered Species Act, the Department of the Interiors final federal plans pose major threats to many Nevadans long-term way of life and success.\r\nThis has been an issue of the Department of the Interior using the threat of a listing to get what it really wanted all along: limiting Nevadans access to millions of acres of land equal to the size of the state of West Virginia. At the end of the day, Big Government continues to tighten its grip at the expense of rural Americas future, especially in Nevada.\r\nRather than addressing the real threats to sage-grouse habitat in our state - wildfire, the spread of invasive species, and wild horse and burro mismanagement  these new regulations simply restrict Nevadans access to millions of acres of public lands. Nevadans hate to see the federal government further limit the use of their public lands. I will continue to fight these unnecessary restrictions and work with our Congressional delegation on policies that protect our environment, grow our economy, and support our western ways of life, said Senator Dean Heller.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=493c2265-f5b3-4e3d-a0e0-2f318ec99372"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.154925674200058, "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"}
