Congress' backroom permitting reform risks making things worse
Original: Congress’ backroom permitting reform risks making things worse
Congressional efforts to rewrite permitting rules for infrastructure and energy projects are being criticized as rushed and negotiated behind closed doors. Commentators argue the reform could add new layers of bureaucracy rather than streamline approvals, undermining the goal of faster project delivery. Critics want a more transparent process before any legislation advances.
Why now: Permitting reform is being actively negotiated in Congress and critics warn the current secretive approach could produce counterproductive legislation.
