Description | In a rare break with fellow Republicans, Sen. Wayne Allard said Tuesday that he will oppose proposed mining law changes that critics say would trigger a "fire sale" of public lands.
Environmentalists have expressed serious concerns about a mining provision included in a House of Representatives version of a pending budget bill.
Critics say the provision, backed by Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Calif., would make changes in an 1872 mining law that could open millions of acres of public lands to mining operations. |
