This bill is so dumb, like why would they even think about stopping the oil and gas leasing off the coast of New England? It's like they don't even care about the economy or the jobs that could be created from it. This is just another example of the government trying to control everything and limit our opportunities. I can't believe they would even consider passing this bill, it's just ridiculous.
