Western Lawmakers Push To Restore Mineral Funds
A bipartisan group of western lawmakers in Washington seek to restore $110 million in federal mineral royalty payments to 35 states. Senators from New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, and Idaho back the measure, with House support from Rep. Cynthia Lummis. The bills would let states collect royalties directly from producers on federal lands and shield the funds from future budget cuts. Wyoming faces a $53 million hit. New Mexico would lose $26 million under current cuts. The measure also would drop a 2 percent collection fee and keep the federal share.
