Simon and colleagues seek GAO review of Trump-era coal subsidies and emergency power use for a West Oakland export terminal.
Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers seek GAO review: Congresswoman Lateefah Simon joined several California lawmakers in asking the Government Accountability Office to review the Trump administration’s use of emergency national defense powers and taxpayer funds to support coal-related projects, including a proposed coal export terminal in West Oakland.
Funding and legal concerns raised: The lawmakers said they question whether up to $425 million in Defense Production Act funds was used within the law’s intent. They argued the money should be reserved for national defense or critical infrastructure needs, not a commercial export project.
Local project opposed: Simon said she has opposed the terminal since the administration announced $75 million in funding for the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal. The letter also asked GAO to examine whether the department followed proper procedures and considered health and environmental rules.
