U.S. Congressman Mike Flood has expressed his support for the Trump administration's decision to involve stakeholders in revising the Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rule, initially implemented by the Biden administration. According to Flood, this move represents a positive development for Nebraska's agricultural community.
In his statement, Congressman Flood criticized the previous administration's approach: "Through the years, the Biden administration refused to listen to ag producers and the states that have given ongoing feedback about changes to the WOTUS rule." He praised the Trump administration's decision as "great news and a big win for our farmers and ranchers."
Flood emphasized his hope that any new regulations would reduce bureaucratic hurdles: "It’s my hope that a new rule rolls back red tape and protects our ag producers, job creators, and all Americans from the kind of overreach we’ve seen the last four years."
The congressman's comments highlight ongoing debates over environmental regulations and their impact on agriculture.
