Club for Growth Supports Expediting Environmental Reviews

“President Trump’s order will reduce the cost of government actions and help reduce the deficit.”

 Washington, DC – Club for Growth president David McIntosh released the following statement in response to President Trump’s signing of an order aimed at expediting environmental reviews and approvals for infrastructure projects:

“President Trump’s order to speed up environmental reviews and approvals for infrastructure projects is a crucial first step in bringing sanity and efficiency to government projects,” said Club for Growth president David McIntosh. “Accelerating reviews that have been burdensome and often unnecessary is pro-growth because it will reduce the cost of government actions and help reduce the deficit. Under Obama, liberal special interests and Washington bureaucrats made an art out of gaming the regulatory system to stall projects and drive up costs borne by taxpayers. Today’s action puts a first, much-needed stake in the heart of Washington’s beloved regulatory state.”
