This plan isn\u2019t designed to manage Wyoming\u2019s natural resources. It is designed to suffocate them. While I\u2019m grateful for the efforts of those on the ground in Wyoming who worked to improve the original proposal, the plan unveiled today directly jeopardizes Wyoming\u2019s economy and our way of life.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Biden-Harris administration has made it abundantly clear that it is far more focused on appealing to radical environmentalists than supporting western communities,\u201d said Lummis. \u201cThe BLM\u2019s recently announced Rock Springs Resource Management Plan is only the latest in a series of land grabs that punishes Wyoming and the entire west. Locking up lands in southwestern Wyoming will deliver a seismic blow to Wyoming\u2019s economy, devastating our communities and further emboldening unelected bureaucrats in Washington to prioritize political pandering over the economic and environmental stability of the region. In brazenly bypassing over a decade\u2019s worth of knowledge from local experts and stakeholders, this administration not only punishes the state of Wyoming but jeopardizes America\u2019s energy independence and our national security.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:41:32Z"]], "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.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/barrasso-lummis-slam-blms-latest-land-grab-proposal-in-wyoming/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7555969059467316, "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"}
