Thompson: “President Biden has once again turned his back on rural America”

Yesterday, President Biden vetoed a bipartisan Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture and cosponsor of the resolution, issued the following statement:
 
“Both the House and Senate voted in a bipartisan manner to vacate this Administration’s disastrous WOTUS rule. America’s farmers, ranchers, and landowners have made it clear this WOTUS definition is overly burdensome and unworkable, only exacerbating the regulatory uncertainty rural communities currently face. By vetoing this resolution, President Biden has once again turned his back on rural America.”
