"DNC Weighs Manchin's Permitting Reform Deal"

"The Democratic National Committee will vote this week on a resolution opposing a push by Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) to overhaul the nation's permitting process for energy infrastructure.

Although the resolution is not expected to pass, it highlights a growing rift in the Democratic Party over permitting reform, a critical issue on the congressional agenda this fall.

The details: To secure Manchin's vote for a sweeping climate package, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, Democratic leadership agreed to pass separate legislation to speed up the permitting process for energy infrastructure projects."
