Tired of Waiting for Manchin, GOP Intros Its Own Save MVP Bill

Since the beginning of Joe Manchin's so-called "side deal" to vote on a bill that will reform the permitting process for infrastructure projects including the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), Republicans in the Senate (and House) have called on Manchin and Chuck Schumer to release actual language of the bill that will be voted on. You know, release it at least a week or two before it gets voted on, instead of two hours before (which is the Democrats' typical routine). So far, NOTHING from Manchin and Schumer. So on Monday, Manchin's fellow U.S. Senator from West Virginia, Senator Shelley Moore Capito, introduced her own version of a permitting reform bill. The bill has the support of 45 Republican Senators so far (38 of them co-sponsored).
