CHEYENNE (WNE) — On Thursday, in the House Natural Resources Committee, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., voted to pass the Transparency, Accountability, Permitting and Production (TAPP) of American Resources Act.

The bill will now be scheduled for a vote of the full House of Representatives.

A few dozen people filed into the Albany County Library on a blustery February night for a town hall with Wyoming’s U.S. Congresswoman Harriet Hageman. She’s Wyoming’s freshest face in Washington, D.C., and said her time there has been a whirlwind so far. 

“It doesn’t seem like it’s been five weeks, it seems like it’s been five years,” she said to the crowd. “When I come back here a year from now, you’re not going to recognize me, probably.” 

WASHINGTON—Sinkholes, potholes and washed-out bridges were top of mind for the Tohono O’odham Nation’s vice chair when she spoke to a congressional subcommittee last week. 

“Those roads are dangerous for our members as well as our visitors,” Wavalene Saunders, vice chairwoman of Tohono O'odham Nation, said on Wednesday. “During monsoon season, flooding completely washes out our roads and makes them impassable.”
