SHAHEEN STATEMENT ON DELAY OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY LEGISLATION

(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released the following statement on Senate consideration of her bipartisan energy efficiency legislation:

“I’m disappointed that a small group of senators have delayed action on a bipartisan effort to create jobs, lower pollution, and save taxpayers money. Shaheen-Portman is a bipartisan bill with an unprecedented amount of support because people from across the political spectrum agree that it is good for our economy and our environment.

“I want everyone in New Hampshire who is frustrated by gridlock and dysfunction in Washington to know that I share their frustrations.  But I don’t plan on giving up and will continue to work to pass this bill.”
