TRUMP MOVES TO FIX WASHINGTON’S MESS: ADMINISTRATION TAKES ACTION TO END PERMITTING GRIDLOCK
By TheNevadaGlobeStaff, January 15, 2026 12:00 pm
After years of Washington dysfunction, delays, and bureaucratic sabotage, the White House is making it official: the Trump administration is moving to fix America’s broken permitting system — and fast.
In a new announcement highlighted by the administration, Donald Trump is taking decisive action to overhaul a permitting process that has strangled infrastructure projects, driven up costs, and killed jobs for decades. The goal is simple: build again — and stop letting radical environmental activists and Washington red tape block American progress.
For too long, critical infrastructure projects — from energy development to roads, bridges, and water systems — have been stalled for years by endless reviews, lawsuits, and bureaucratic gamesmanship. Under previous administrations, permitting delays became a feature, not a bug, crippling economic growth and making America less competitive.
The Trump administration is now moving to restore common sense by streamlining reviews, setting firm timelines, and holding federal agencies accountable when they drag their feet. The changes are designed to unleash American energy, accelerate construction, and deliver real results instead of empty press releases.
That’s especially welcome news for states like Nevada, where infrastructure and energy projects have repeatedly been bogged down by Washington delays — even as families face higher energy costs and communities wait years for basic improvements.
Unlike Democrats, who talk endlessly about “green investments” while blocking the very projects they claim to support, President Trump is focused on results. The administration’s reforms prioritize efficiency without sacrificing safety, proving that environmental stewardship and economic growth don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer. While Democrats defend a system designed to delay, obstruct, and appease radical activists, President Trump is doing what Washington rarely does: fixing what’s broken.
As permitting reform moves forward, the message from the Trump administration is unmistakable — America is done waiting. It’s time to build, produce, and put workers back on the job.
