Anti-Environmental Tax Bill that Opens Drilling in the Arctic Refuge
Senate Roll Call Vote 323
Issues: Lands/Forests, Dirty Energy, Drilling

Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX) sponsored H.R. 1, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, which sells out key environmental priorities to deliver a massive tax cut for millionaires, billionaires, and huge corporations. The bill increases the deficit by $1.5 trillion, harming people nationwide by likely resulting in cuts to safeguards for our air, water, lands and wildlife. The legislation puts our clean energy future at risk while maintaining giveaways to fossil fuel interests. The conference report for H.R. 1 even turns the pristine and sacred Arctic National Wildlife Refuge into an industrial oil field. Following its passage in the House, on December 20, the Senate approved the conference report for H.R. 1 by a vote of 51-48 (Senate roll call vote 323). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE. President Trump signed H.R. 1 into law on December 22.
