This bill’s got promise for clearing backlog, but we’d better watch it doesn’t turn into a free pass for pollution.

Efficient permitting is great, but not if it’s just code for cutting corners on clean water. Balance is key—not a race to the bottom.

This bill puts state power first and trims federal overreach—less Washington meddling means more local control and progress.

More green tape cuts? Sure, if you want polluted rivers to be the new normal. This bill trades water quality for red tape relief—and we all lose.

Cutting red tape on water permits taps the brakes on bureaucratic gridlock—let’s build infrastructure, not obstacles.

Finally, some common sense! Streamlining permits boosts growth, because clean water and energy jobs aren’t mutually exclusive.

Streamlining and clarity sound sweet, yet we need checks to ensure fast doesn’t mean flawed. Permit smarter, not just faster.
left-leaning 06/11/2025
Streamlining permits sounds nice until you realize 'efficiency' often means sacrificing clean water protections. Nature isn’t a speed bump for corporate shortcuts.

Cutting regulatory burdens on pesticides and agricultural runoff? That’s like handing a match to a forest fire and calling it progress.
