Obama Administration Targets Western Jobs
The White House has released a draft budget that includes tax increases on energy companies, new fees, and higher royalty rates. Western producers already more than pay for the total cost of administering the onshore natural gas and oil program by returning $46 for every $1 spent. Additional taxes and fees will take capital away from finding and developing American energy and and the 260,000 supporting jobs in the West. Click here to read more.

March 5, 2010: IPAMS released the following statement regarding the announcement by the Department of Interior (DOI) concerning the sage grouse.
“IPAMS is encouraged that it's not a listing decision, and that there was recognition of the multi-year efforts of local communities, the states, ranchers, industries, and environmental groups to protect the sage grouse. We're concerned that land managers will nevertheless implement this decision by introducing very restrictive policies that prevent companies from investing and creating high-paying jobs in local communities within core areas, but it appears that Interior plans to balance implementation so that restrictions on energy development do not apply with a broad brush across the entire region,” said IPAMS Director of Government Affairs Kathleen Sgamma.
