WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Drone Integration and Zoning Act Wednesday, a bill to establish a regulatory framework for drones based on the principles of local governance and cooperative federalism. “The FAA cannot feasibly or efficiently oversee millions of drones in every locality throughout the country,” Sen. Lee said. “The reason that the states have sovereign police powers to protect the property of their citizens is because issues of land use, privacy, trespass, and law enforcement make sense at the state and local level. The best way to ensure public safety and allow this innovative industry to thrive is to empower the people closest to the ground to make local decisions in real time and that is exactly what the Drone Integration and Zoning Act does.”

Construction is one of the most important industries in our economy. It provides much of the infrastructure needed in our daily lives, and it’s a huge source of jobs in our country for both high and low-skilled workers. But unfortunately, there’s an 80-year old wage subsidy law on the books that is artificially inflating costs of federally funded construction projects on our nation’s infrastructure – costing taxpayers billions of dollars and unfairly discriminating against low-skilled workers.

The internet has brought about remarkable opportunities in our modern world. It allows us to keep in touch with family and friends thousands of miles away, order goods and services with the click of a button, and access all sorts of information. And it’s an incredible tool for a robust exchange of ideas. But unfortunately, the internet – and social media platforms in particular – can also be used to spread extremism, violence, hate speech, and pornography.
