While President Joe Biden was joined by Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the White House on Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of a sweeping health care and climate bill designed to lower consumer prices, Nevada Rep. Susie Lee held a roundtable back home with local organizations focused on labor and climate.
During the roundtable, Lee said the law was the “most significant piece of legislation in history addressing climate change.”
“I don’t need to tell all of you that Nevada, one, stands at the very epicenter of climate change. We are dealing with the impact,” she said. “More importantly, we’re also at the apex of taking advantage of the transition to clean energy and the jobs that come with that.”
