Lummis | L000571 | www.lummis.senate.gov | lummis | https://www.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/page/ | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S.Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis, both R-WY, released the following statements in response to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)’s misguided Rock Springs Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP). “The Biden-Harris administration is pushing Wyoming off an economic cliff with nothing more than a tattered parachute,” said Barrasso. “The Rock Springs Resource Management Plan strangles responsible natural resource development. This plan isn’t designed to manage Wyoming’s natural resources. It is designed to suffocate them. While I’m 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’s economy and our way of life.” “The Biden-Harris administration has made it abundantly clear that it is far more focused on appealing to radical environmentalists than supporting western communities,” said Lummis. “The BLM’s 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’s 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’s worth of knowledge from local experts and stakeholders, this administration not only punishes the state of Wyoming but jeopardizes America’s energy independence and our national security.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:41:32Z |
