following members of senator daines' staff be granted floor braistles -- ben cough -- kaufman and amy fortner. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. gardner: the senator's bill has strong support from both sides of the aisle. this bill has strong components in it from grid transparency, accountability and i think on the floor there are some opportunities for other amendments that will be discussed and brought about, including an amendment that's important to senator shaheen and i that's going to be discussing the impact with the recreation the economy has, the amount of dollars raised and generated through the recreation economy, spending money in the great outdoors and how that impacts our states and the jobs that it creates. and so we know that people come to colorado, states like colorado, states like new hampshire, alaska, to -- to hike, to fish, to climb, to ski, and all of the great and incredible benefits that we have year-round in alaska, colorado and the rest of our many states with so many recreational offerings. i look forward to these discussions and over the next few days
