Upsetting the Globalists in 144 characters or less:
USOGA made some people unhappy with this response to the UN Secretary’s social media team's silly tweet. But if we don’t do it – who will?
Easy Company takes the Hill:
USOGA joined with the rest of Easy Company in hitting Capitol Hill this week to talk next steps on permitting reform. Easy Company is the coalition of allied trade associations we assembled over two years ago to fight back against those who would put us out of business and together – we represent over 80% of all US production. Bottom line from our meetings this week? Permit reform is alive and well.
