Communities would be restricted from regulating air and water quality and blasting at sand mines, gravel pits and quarries under a plan approved by the legislature’s GOP-controlled Joint Finance Committee.

Schumer and Pelosi wanted and got swift hurricane relief when McConnell wanted it all to seem his doing on his watch. He was outplayed at the poker table.
