Midland Reporter-Telegram 8/28/2021
State Rep. Tom Craddick addressed the procedural move by state Rep. Brooks Landgraf that the Midlander believes would have made a bill banning high-level radioactive waste more effective.
“Brooks Landgraf (R-Odessa) used a procedural move to prohibit any consideration of the amendment,” Craddick offered in a statement. “Rep. Landgraf after removing my amendment from consideration stated before the full House of Representatives he agreed with the need for ban language offered in my amendment. He could and should have accepted my amendment.
“Radioactive waste in the form of spent nuclear fuel and reactor-related greater than class C waste represents a very real threat to the Permian Basin, all Texans and America. … The Permian Basin is no place for this storage.”
HB7 heads to the Texas Senate.
