During Thursday’s debate between U.S. Senate contenders, energy issues, in their various incarnations, came up more than once.
Incumbent Republican Senator John Barrasso said in Wyoming – and the U.S. – natural resources are important to protect, but they should also be taken advantage of.
U-S Senator John Barrasso easily won his primary election last night and will face Albany County Commissioner Tim Chestnut in the upcoming general election. One of the issues that will be debated will be the inability of Congress to work together. But Barrasso says that’s been over stated.
Wyoming U-S Senator John Barrasso continues to hope that the U-S Supreme Court will toss out the entire Affordable Care Act and force Congress to develop a new health care overhaul.
If that happened, some popular programs– including the ability for children to stay on their parents’ health insurance plan until the age of 26 – would go away. During an appearance on FOX News, Barrasso said that would be part of any new legislation.
U-S Senator from Wyoming John Barrasso has been very critical of the Obama administration because of its position on such things as new air standards as it applies to the coal industry… and a number of other EPA-led provisions that, he says, will just kill jobs. Senator Barrasso joins Bob Beck from the cloak room just outside of the U-S Senate.
Wyoming lawmakers are sitting on pins and needles as the Supreme Court takes up the health care law this week. Democrats passed the law, and Republicans despise it and are resting their political fortunes on overturning it.
Members of Wyoming’s Congressional delegation dismissed President Obama’s state of the union message as little more than campaign rhetoric. Senator John Barrasso said in a prepared statement that despite the President’s comments that the economy is getting better, too many people are out of work.
“3 years into his term, 13 million Americans are looking for jobs and the White House is looking for votes.”
