Critics blast mining reform proposal amid 1872 Act debate
Washington critics led by Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt argue the GOP budget plan offers only sham changes to the 1872 Mining Act. They say it preserves loopholes and yields less than $1 million yearly to the Treasury while allowing hundreds of billions in mineral potential to be exploited with minimal land costs. Supporters cite royalty and surface-value reforms as meaningful steps toward curb. The dispute mirrors wider fights in the budget clash between the White House and Congress over energy and land policy.
