senate 07/09/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to support rural sawmills and wood-processing facilities by establishing a loan guarantee program that helps expand their operations near federal lands in need of ecological restoration. This aims to make restoration projects more cost-effective while strengthening American wood infrastructure.

This bill plants seeds for green jobs but let’s make sure the forests don’t turn into lumberyards first.

Loan guarantees for sawmills? Great—if we’re chopping trees, we better be replanting communities, too.

Federal loan guarantees? If it grows jobs and lumber, sign me up—government’s here to back business, not block it.

Let’s cut the red tape and let the sawmills saw—free markets work better than federal handouts anyway.

Loans for timber growth? Sure, as long as the environment and economy both make the cut.

Putting money into timber is fine, but don’t let it become a chainsaw party without a forest guard.

This plan’s got potential; just hoping the forests don’t pay the price for economic gain.

Supporting local sawmills sounds good, but balance is key—let’s not clear-cut opportunity from oversight.

Finally, a bill that turns America’s forests into profits, not just postcards.
