February 1st-- Unreasonable Water Storage Regulation

Feb 1, 2015
Past E-Newsletters

Dear Friend,

This week, the House passed twelve bipartisan bills to combat Human Trafficking, a $9.8 billion crime industry that affects over 300,000 children. The measures will help give law enforcement the tools necessary to prevent human trafficking, ensure victims of this crime have access to support and services, and provide training to government employees so they can detect and respond to human trafficking more effectively. I am proud to stand with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle against this horrific crime.

The House also passed the LNG Permitting Certainty and Transparency Act (H.R. 351) with my support. This measure would expedite the approval process for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports by placing a 30 day deadline for the Department of Energy to issue a final decision on construction applications after an environmental review is complete. Expanding LNG exports will boost the economy, increase energy security, and create 45, 000 jobs. We cannot let an inefficient bureaucracy stand in the way of economic growth and getting Americans back to work.

Below are some highlights from my time in DC last week. As our 114th Congress continues, your priorities remain my priorities. Please let me know what you think and stay in touch. You can always email me, interact with me on Facebook, and call my office!

Sincerely,

Doug LaMalfa
