Today, after voting against all three energy bills Republicans brought to the House floor this week, Representative David Price (D-NC) expressed his disappointment that Republican leaders are choosing to debate message bills instead of focusing on priorities that affect all North Carolinians. The Republican bills considered by the House this week would put oil and natural gas drilling and pipeline activities in the fast lane, and would bar any federal oversight of fracking on public lands. After today, House Republicans have only eight legislative workdays scheduled for the rest of the year, Rep. Price said. I find it amazing that House Republican leaders, who have presided over one of the most lethargic sessions I can remember, think handing out energy company giveaways is a better use of our time than moving forward on a transportation bill or a farm bill or immigration reform, or even on writing our 2014 budgetall of which would benefit the economy and create jobs. They have no sense of urgency for the rest of the year, and their draft blank page' agenda for 2014 makes clear just how limited their positive vision for our nation is. President Obama has promised to veto the Republican energy bills, which are also unlikely to be considered in the Senate. The House is expected to be in recess from November 21 until December 2. House Republicans have scheduled December 13 as the final day of session for the year. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
