The House Freedom Caucus released its position on whether federal funding should be made available for reconstructing the bridge.
released its position on whether federal funding should be made available for reconstructing the bridge, which fell down after a cargo ship crashed into it last week. The group said its members would require a series of concessions, including the cost being fully offset and, most notably, a reversal of the president’s pause in liquefied natural gas exports.
The group is also adamant that the funding is limited to only physical structural repairs rather than a “pork-filled bill loaded with unrelated projects.” As such, the group is pushing to follow the “single-subject rule,” which would require requests to be made individually. Biden, who is under pressure to address the effects of climate change, has justified the pause as allowing the administration to evaluate the effects on the climate and environment of exporting such a “sizable” amount of gas. It also permits the administration to consider the economic and national security effects of new LNG export facilities.
