Rep. Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon: I still have seared in my memory the images of Capitol Police officers and other people being beaten. People lost their lives. … It’s not like somebody made this up. There are videos. There are pictures. There are statements. There’s a record of this. And there were people that were convicted by juries of their peers.

“We want to be clear: our concerns with the implementation do not arise from any hesitation about pursuing ambitious, comprehensive policies to protect critical habitat for endangered species,” Bonamici, an Oregon Democrat who represents the North Coast, and other members of the Oregon delegation wrote. “It is the role of government to craft and implement responsible policy that follows the science, but it’s also important to fully resource the changes that must be made.”
