Republican lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to allow the public more time to voice concerns with a plan to unleash grizzly bears into a forest area in Washington.
"Time and again, northern Washingtonians have expressed their deep concerns about the introduction of grizzlies into the North Cascades, as they are a danger to the safety of their communities," Newhouse said in a statement. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Despite this opposition, the Biden administration is set on moving forward with the introduction of these apex predators against the will of locals," the Washington lawmaker continued. "That’s why I’m joining with my colleagues to demand an extension of the public comment period on this proposed relocation of bears so that the Washingtonians impacted by this have adequate time to review and respond."
