Happy permitting reform day to all who celebrate.

First major vote on BAAJA will be at 5:30 PM today — let's get it done.

Why is the Congressional Progressive Caucus opposing a bill endorsed by AFL-CIO, IBEW, LIUNA, and the Teamsters?

Good coverage in WaPo of the BAAJA motion to proceed vote last night, which passed 73-25 (with 22 Democrats voting yes).

It nails the three most important factors at play:

1. Democrats just won in a tsunami election on an affordability message, not a mandate for more activist litigation

2. BAAJA earned support from a broad coalition, including major unions and climate groups

3. President Trump's counterproductive comments on wind energy only underscore the need for statutory reforms to the permitting process
