Fort Worth, Texas – Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) President Pete Bonds made the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed S.J. Res. 22, a Waters of the U.S. disapproval resolution.
“TSCRA appreciates the continued efforts of House leaders to scrap the flawed WOTUS rule, which threatens the private property rights of landowners,” said Bonds. “Delivering this resolution to the president’s desk sends a clear message that we are fed up with government regulations like WOTUS.
“TSCRA encourages the president to sign this resolution and will continue fighting against government regulations that take away the private property rights our country was built on.”
