Representative Scott Perry (R-PA) sponsored an amendment to H.R. 8997, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025, which would prohibit the Delaware River Basin Commission from using funds to enforce their unanimously-passed ban on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Fracking could increase both air, water, and groundwater pollution and jeopardize the health of communities, drinking water sources, ecosystems, and wildlife that depend on the river. This amendment would thus compromise the long-term health and resilience of the Delaware River, its watershed and its residents. On July 23, the House rejected the Perry amendment by a vote of 195-210 (House roll call vote 364). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
