Sen. Martin Heinrich Slams Public Land Transfer Bill, Calls Coal Proposal a Subsidy

Sen. Martin Heinrich criticized legislation involving public land transfers and coal lease payment changes during a Senate committee hearing. He argued that the proposed land transfer lacks balance, defended protections around the Chaco region, and claimed extending coal lease payment deadlines would amount to a subsidy for coal companies while reducing returns for American taxpayers.
