Senate Hearing on Public Land, Wildfire, and Mining Postponed Due to Shutdown
A planned Senate hearing on public storage, wildfire, and mining proposals has been postponed due to the ongoing government shutdown. The hearing, initially set for Wednesday morning, was to be held by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's Public Lands, Forests and Mining Subcommittee, led by Sens. John Barrasso and Catherine Cortez Masto. The event was one of the first congressional happenings affected by the shutdown.
The hearing was scheduled weeks after a public disagreement between Chair Mike Lee and ranking member Martin Heinrich over the committee's legislative agenda. The subcommittee was due to receive testimony from administration witnesses, who were unable to attend due to the shutdown. The hearing was set to discuss a range of bills, including those related to public storage, wildfire management, and mining regulations. However, the shutdown has led to the postponement of this important discussion.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's Public Lands, Forests and Mining Subcommittee has postponed its hearing due to the government shutdown. The hearing, which was to discuss crucial proposals, will be rescheduled once the shutdown is resolved. The committee and its leaders, Sens. John Barrasso and Catherine Cortez Masto, will continue to work towards addressing these important issues affecting public storage and resources.
