It represents collaboration and compromise from all parties—and the Department of the Interior should accept it without delay. While this agreement is welcome, it uses drought dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act to quite literally buy time. It’s imperative that Interior not let a moment go to waste in deploying the remainder of funds under the Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to invest in long-term conservation efforts.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:07:47Z |
