BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer R-ND, member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, issued the following statement on the Bureau of Land Management’s proposed Public Lands Rule:
“As we have seen in North Dakota, the Biden administration has a bad habit of violating the law and blatantly asserting power it does not have. Congress did not grant additional statutory authority to the Executive Branch, yet it is proposing a totally new standard for BLM public lands. This proposal would hamper the multiple use mandate ranchers, miners, and energy producers rely on by locking up acres under the guise of conservation.”
