This Week in Washington: Sept 22, 2008

Posted By Todd Thurman On September 22, 2008 @ 3:56 pm In Energy and Environment | No Comments

There are three big issues in This Week in Washington.

  • Last week the House passed a sham [1] energy bill that does not give states an incentive to allow off-shore drilling. That bill can possibly come before the Senate this week.
  • Also coming before the Sentate is Majority Leader Reid’s (D-NV) Omnibus bill that failed to pass the Senate in July. This bill contains over 100 bills that could cost the taxpayers millions.
  • Lastly, Heritage’s Brett Schaefer wrote [2]that the UN’s responsibilities are to help maintain international peace and Bush and Congress should carefully consider any proposal from the UN
