Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Barr made concrete legislative efforts related to coal infrastructure and reliable power, including H.R. 4875 and H.R. 5927 in the 119th Congress, but both remained only introduced/referred and did not become law or deliver the promised revival of Kentucky coal jobs, new good-paying energy jobs, or restored affordable reliable power. The evidence supports serious effort without fulfillment of the promised outcome.
